Windows Capture Keystroke Recorder
Description
This module can be used to capture keystrokes. To capture keystrokes when the session is running as SYSTEM, the MIGRATE option must be enabled and the CAPTURE_TYPE option should be set to one of Explorer, Winlogon, or a specific PID. To capture the keystrokes of the interactive user, the Explorer option should be used with MIGRATE enabled. Keep in mind that this will demote this session to the user's privileges, so it makes sense to create a separate session for this task. The Winlogon option will capture the username and password entered into the logon and unlock dialog. The LOCKSCREEN option can be combined with the Winlogon CAPTURE_TYPE to for the user to enter their clear-text password. It is recommended to run this module as a job, otherwise it will tie up your framework user interface.

Module Options
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
