Key Logger Spyware Design
This course introduces spyware known as key loggers, which are programs that record everything typed on the keyboard. The goal is to understand how they work, raise awareness of their risks and show you how to protect yourself, while also giving you a foundation in the C++ programming language these programs are built on. The course starts with basic programming concepts, downloading the Code Blocks integrated development environment and creating your first project. It then explains code syntax, comments, variables, constants and scope, input and output, arithmetic, logical and comparison operators, conditional statements, control statements and loops. After that come functions, pointers, arrays, structures and working with text files. In the final part, it shows how spyware works from the inside, and how to protect yourself, detect it and remove it from your device. The course suits anyone who wants to learn C++ basics from scratch and understand how spyware works so they can defend against it. You need no experience in programming or cybersecurity. By the end, you will be able to write C++ programs, understand how spyware works, and protect your device from it.
