Run it only on systems you own or have explicit permission to test. This repository contains a Python-based keylogger script that records keystrokes to a local file and can send the collected log by email. It includes retry handling for email delivery, local log management, and startup examples for Linux and Windows.         Architecture Overview Read this diagram from top to bottom. It follows the same layers used by keylogger.py : launch, imports and global state, main() , key capture, Esc detection, email sending, and cleanup/restart. --- Function Map Function Plain-language role Technical behavior --- --- --- main() Starts the program and keeps it running Loads keylog.txt if present, starts a Listener , waits for it to stop, sleeps 5 seconds, then starts another listener on press(key) Records each key press Adds printable characters or special-key names to log content , then appends the current full buffer to keylog.txt on release(key) Watches for the session-ending key When Esc is released, calls send email() , clears memory and file logs, and returns False to stop the current listener send email(log content) Sends the captured text by email Builds a MIME email, connects to SMTP with STARTTLS, logs in, sends the message, and retries up to 3 times Important Design Notes - Esc ends the current listener se","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/SagarBiswas-MultiHAT","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/SagarBiswas-MultiHAT/A-Pythonic-Keylogger/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
