Guarding Against Keylogger

A keylogger is a type of software or script that records keystrokes on a computer or device. While keyloggers can be used for legitimate purposes such as monitoring computer activity for security reasons or parental control, they are often associated with malicious intent, such as stealing passwords or sensitive information. In this abstract, we will explore the concept of creating a basic keylogger using JavaScript, which can capture keystrokes within a web browser environment. JavaScript, typically utilized for enhancing interactivity on web pages, can also be leveraged to capture user input events, including keystrokes. This aims to provide a comprehensive solution for keylogger detection and prevention. It will employ different techniques to identify and detect keylogging attempts. There are several techniques that can be used to detect keyloggers and protect against them. We will be using the browser’s developer tools to detect the Keylogger. The objectives of this project are: 1. Explain the process of attack. 2. How we detect the attack. 3. Showing an alert when attack is performed
