Abstract:
This paper presents the development of a software keylogger to monitor user activities within a cyber network, enhancing security and facilitating comprehensive cybersecurity analysis. Guided by the agile methodology, the work adopts a flexible and iterative approach to development, ensuring continuous collaboration, adaptation to evolving requirements, and swift response to feedback. Leveraging the versatility and efficiency of the Python programming language, this work transforms the traditional notion of a keylogger, which is a program that records keystrokes, into an ethical and legally compliant tool. By capturing and logging keystrokes, the system provides valuable insights into user behavior and potential security threats, enabling proactive measures to prevent cyber-attacks and data breaches. Prioritizing transparency and consent, the system design adheres to ethical standards and privacy regulations, ensuring the protection of sensitive information and user privacy. This technical solution offers cybersecurity professionals, system administrators, and organizations a valuable tool for network monitoring while showcasing responsible development practices and contributing to the advancement of ethical cybersecurity solutions.
