Keylogger Program

This C++ program is a simple keylogger that logs keystrokes and writes them to a file named "log.txt". The keylogger runs in the background and hides the console window to avoid detection. It utilizes the Windows API for keyboard input monitoring.

Features

• Logs keystrokes and writes them to a text file.
• Special keys such as Enter, Shift, Control, Caps Lock, Tab, and Alt are logged as well.
• Runs in the background, minimizing the visibility of the console window.
• Utilizes the Windows API for keyboard input monitoring.

Usage

1. Compilation:

   • Compile the program using a C++ compiler. For example:

     g++ keylogger.cpp -o keylogger

2. Execution:

   • Run the compiled executable:

     ./keylogger

3. Logging:

   • The program will start logging keystrokes in the background.
   • The logged data will be stored in a file named "log.txt" in the same directory as the executable.
