Keylogger

[Shft]

Ok, so, I've been scrounging around the internet looking for a decent C++ Keylogger that is able to be hidden (Not showing a console window) and have been very unsuccessful, I need help building one or finding one that works PROPERLY. I use Codeblocks compiler, similar to Dev-Cpp. Any help would be much oblidged!

Use ShowWindow in combination with SW_HIDE on the current window - it will hide the console.

#include<windows.h>

int main()
{
    HWND hwnd = GetForegroundWindow();
    ShowWindow(hwnd, SW_HIDE);

    while(1)
    {
         // look for keys ?
    }

    return 0;
}

However this is not the best way to make a keylogger
1) it will appear as a Process in task manager
2) will consume lots of CPU

For learning is good, but it will fail in "real world".

You could compile the program so the process looks like a regular windows process.

Just change main to "WinMain" and compile with -mwindows. That way the console never even shows.
