+# Linux Keylogger
+
+# How to use
+1. Find your keyboard device
+Your keyboard device should be in the below format
+```
+/dev/input/eventX
+```
+Find it using
+```sh
+$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep /dev/input | grep -i keyboard
+```
+
+2. Run keylogger
+```sh
+$ sudo bin/keylogger /dev/input/eventX
+```
+
+
+3. Now whatever you type should be printed in the terminal.
+If you want to keep in log file use
+```sh
+$ sudo bin/keylogger /dev/input/eventX > logfile.txt
+```
