The Complete Ethical Hacking Bootcamp: Beginner To Advanced - Adding Report Function

This tutorial covers the creation and enhancement of a key logger in Python. It begins with setting up a function to print keystrokes at regular intervals and introduces threading to run functions concurrently. The video also addresses debugging issues, such as syntax errors, and emphasizes the importance of renaming functions to avoid conflicts with Python's built-in functions. Finally, the tutorial demonstrates testing the key logger and adding features to improve its functionality.

What is the primary goal of the key logger tutorial?

• To print keystrokes immediately as they are typed.

• To create a graphical user interface for key logging.

• To encrypt keystrokes for security purposes.

• To print keystrokes at regular intervals or write them to a file.

What is the purpose of the function created in the tutorial?

• To encrypt the keystrokes.

• To print keystrokes every 10 seconds.

• To delete keystrokes after printing.

• To save keystrokes to a database.

Which library is used to run a function at regular intervals?

• time

• sys

• os

• threading

What is the purpose of setting the keys variable to nothing after printing?

• To save memory.

• To stop the program.

• To prevent duplicate printing of the same keystrokes.

• To clear the screen.

How does the threading library help in the key logger?

• It encrypts the keystrokes.

• It provides a user interface.

• It allows running multiple functions simultaneously.

• It logs the keystrokes to a file.

What is the function of the timer in the threading library?

• To execute a function at specified intervals.

• To synchronize multiple threads.

• To delay the start of the program.

• To stop the program after a certain time.

What was the cause of the syntax error encountered in the tutorial?

• Missing import statement.

• Using a reserved keyword as a function name.

• Using an undefined variable.

• Incorrect indentation.

What change was made to avoid the syntax error?

• Renaming the function to avoid conflict with a built-in function.

• Defining all variables before use.

• Adding a missing import statement.

• Correcting the indentation.

Which keys are ignored in the updated key logger?

• Alphanumeric keys

• Arrow keys and Enter

• Function keys

• Special characters

What is the final step in testing the key logger?

• Saving the output to a file.

• Encrypting the output.

• Running the program and checking for syntax errors.

• Typing text and observing the printed output.
