Description

A Keylogger feature in malware acts as a covert surveillance mechanism, recording every keystroke made on the compromised system. This enables attackers to capture a wide range of sensitive information, from login credentials and personal identification numbers to confidential communications and proprietary code. The collected data is typically encrypted and transmitted to a remote server, where it is decoded and analyzed. Beyond just stealing information, the Keylogger can also provide insights into user behavior and system interactions, allowing attackers to fine-tune their strategies for further exploitation or lateral movement within a network. In essence, the Keylogger serves as both a data harvesting tool and a reconnaissance instrument, making it one of the most insidious features in modern malware.
