Hack Like a Pro: How to Remotely Install a Keylogger onto Your Girlfriend's Computer « Null Byte :: WonderHowTo

Welcome back, my greenhorn hackers!Several of you have you have emailed me asking whether it's possible to install a keylogger on a victim's computer using Metasploit. The answer is a resounding "YES"!So, by popular request, in this guide I'll show you how to install a keylogger on your girlfriend's, boyfriend's, wife's, or husband's computer.For those of you wondering what a keylogger is, the simple answer is that it's a piece of software or hardware that captures every keystroke and saves them for retrieval by you, the attacker. These types of devices have long been used by hackers to capture logins, passwords, social security numbers, etc. Here we will use it to capture the keystrokes of a cheating girlfriend.Fire upMetasploitand let's get started.Like in my last article ondisabling antivirus software, I'm assuming that you've successfully installed Metasploit's powerful listener/rootkit on the target system. You can also check my earlierHack Like a Proarticles for a variety of ways to get it installed.Step 1: Migrate the MeterpreterBefore we start our keylogger, we need to migrate the Meterpreter to the application or process we want to log the keystrokes from. Let's check to see what processes are running on the victim system by typing:meterpreter >psNotice in the screenshot above that we have a listing of every process running on the victim system. We can see about 1/3 of the way down the process listing with a Process ID (PID) of 912, the Notepad application is open and running.Let's migrate to that process and capture any keystrokes entered there. Type:meterpreter > migrate 912You can see from the screenshot that Meterpreter responds that we have migrated successfully,Step 2: Start the KeyloggerNow that we have migrated the Meterpreter to the Notepad, we can embed the keylogger.Metasploit's Meterpreter has a built-in software keylogger called keyscan. To start it on the victim system, just type:meterpreter> keyscan_startWith this command, Meterpreter will now start logging every keystroke entered into the Notepad application.Step 3: Write a Short Note on the Victim SystemLet's now move to our victim system and write a short note to make sure it works.As you can see in screenshot above, Cheatah has written a short note to Stud, asking him to come visit while her boyfriend is gone. All of these keystrokes are being captured by our keylogger providing us with evidence of her cheating heart (or some other organ).Step 4: Recover the KeystrokesNow, let's go back to our system with Meterpreter running on Metasploit. We can now dump all of the keystrokes that were entered on Cheatah's computer. We simply type:meterpreter> keyscan_dumpAs you can see, every keystroke has been captured including the tabs and end of line characters. Now you have the evidence on Cheatah!In my next articles, we'll continue to look at other powerful features of Metasploit's Meterpreter.Want to start making money as a white hat hacker?Jump-start your hacking career with our2020 Premium Ethical Hacking Certification Training Bundlefrom the newNull Byte Shopand get over 60 hours of training from cybersecurity professionals.Buy Now (90% off) >Other worthwhile deals to check out:97% off The Ultimate 2021 White Hat Hacker Certification Bundle99% off The 2021 All-in-One Data Scientist Mega Bundle98% off The 2021 Premium Learn To Code Certification Bundle62% off MindMaster Mind Mapping Software: Perpetual LicensePhoto byEd YourdonRelatedHack Like a Pro:How to Secretly Hack Into, Switch On, & Watch Anyone's Webcam RemotelyHack Like a Pro:How to Remotely Record & Listen to the Microphone on Anyone's ComputerHacking Windows 10:How to Capture Keystrokes & Passwords RemotelyHow To:Check Your MacOS Computer for Malware & KeyloggersHow To:Deploy a Keylogger from a USB Flash Drive QuicklyHow To:Capture Unauthorized Users Trying to Bypass Your Windows 8 Lock ScreenHow To:Get More Bro Time by Automating Loving Texts to Your GirlfriendHow To:4 Ways to Crack a Facebook Password & How to Protect Yourself from ThemHack Like a Pro:How to Remotely Grab a Screenshot of Someone's Compromised ComputerHow To:Run Windows 7 on a Nokia n900 SmartphoneHack Like a Pro:How to Hack Windows 7 to See Whether Your Girlfriend Is Cheating or NotHow To:Access & Control Your Computer Remotely with Your Nexus 5How To:Hack Lets You Fully Activate a Bootleg Copy of Windows 8 Pro for FreeHow To:Use ShowMyPc.com to hack into someone's computer remotelyHacking Windows 10:How to Steal & Decrypt Passwords Stored in Chrome & Firefox RemotelyHow To:Access & Control Your Computer Remotely Using Your iPhoneHow To:Use a Keylogger to Record What Friends Do on Your AndroidHack Like a Pro:How to Remotely Install an Auto-Reconnecting Persistent Back Door on Someone's PCHacking Windows 10:How to Capture & Exfiltrate Screenshots RemotelyHow To:Install VNC remotely on a Windows XP PCHow To:Defend from Keyloggers in Firefox with Keystroke EncryptionHow To:Sneak into Your Roommate's Computer by Bypassing the Windows Login ScreenNews:What does Pro Tools HD Native mean for you?How To:Run a Virtual Computer Within Your Host OS with VirtualBoxNews:games not to play with your girlfriend and games that she will loveBoo Box Challenge:AnniversaryHow To:Install Linux to a Thumb DriveHow To:Access Xampp Server Remotely
