**INTRODUCTION**

Today, with the existence of a program called a Keylogger, gaining unauthorized access to a computer user’s passwords, accounts and confidential information has become as easy as falling off a log. You don’t necessarily need to have physical access to the user’s computer before you are able to monitor  
it, sometimes all it takes is a single click on a link to your program by the user. Anyone with basic knowledge about computer can use a Keylogger. By the time you are done with this chapter, hopefully you will be able to make your own Keylogger through simple, well explained and illustrated steps I have made for you.

**WHAT IS A KEYLOGGER?**  
A Keylogger, sometimes called a “keystroke logger” or “system monitor” is a computer program that  
monitors and records every keystroke made by a computer user to gain unauthorized access to  
passwords and other confidential information.

**MAKING YOUR OWN KEYLOGGER VS DOWNLOADING ONE**  
Why it’s better to write your own Keylogger as opposed to just downloading it from the internet is the reason of Anti-virus detection. If you write your own custom codes for a keylogger and keep the source code to yourself, companies that specialize in creating Anti-virus will have nothing about your Keylogger and thus, the chances of cracking it will be considerably low. Furthermore, downloading a Keylogger from the Internet is tremendously dangerous, as you have no idea what might have been embedded in the program. In other words, you might have your own system “monitored”…
