In the Era of cybersecurity, cybersecurity threats are increasing rapidly. One of them is keyloggers, where many people of unaware of their mechanism. The biggest challenge is its stealth and data-theft capabilities. This paper presents the design and development of an educational tool that simulates keylogger attacks and provides a GUI-based anti-keylogger detection mechanism. Developed in Python, the tool uses the pynput library for simulating keylogging behavior and psutil for monitoring system processes. A tkinter-based graphical interface was integrated for real-time alerts and mitigation. The project aims to create awareness, provide hands-on learning, and demonstrate keylogger detection techniques in a controlled, ethical environment. Results indicate reliable keystroke capture and successful detection of the simulated keylogger, making the tool suitable for academic training and awareness programs.
