Keylogger From Scratch

This document contains code for a keylogger program that logs keyboard input every 10 minutes and emails the log to a specified email address. It uses the keyboard and smtplib libraries. The Keylogger class initializes with an interval, logs keys to a string, and has methods to callback on key release, send an email, and start a repeating report timer. The main function creates a Keylogger, sets the interval to 10 minutes, and starts the keylogger.
