🔒 Hello, I need help

[short ibex]

I have been doing a keyloger (for personal use) and I do not understand why it does not capture all the keys I press, taking into account that there are keys that are kept pressed for several seconds in a row, I would like to see where I am going wrong. Thank you in advance.
PS: I think I can't upload the file where the code is. (I'm new to programming)

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

for future helpers I would not help with this.
the "for personal use" part gives away the fact that it' gonna be used maliciously imo

[gritty canopy]

That’s nice

[ashen niche]

there are very few practical uses for making a "personal key-logger" so i agree with user here, but these are just speculations, OP can further argue if it really is for personal use

[gritty canopy]

I would use it for beneficial reasons my self.

[gritty canopy]

What keys is it not capturing.

[covert niche]

Considering that OP is new to programming, then clearly the level of code in that screenshot is AI generated. I will not be fixing whatever AI coded garbage. Learn programming first and then come back with a more sensible beginner project to work on

!resources has great beginner level materials

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[ashen niche]

not to mention it looks like there are thousands of lines, which is pretty uncommon when you're new to programming

[gritty canopy]

I could easily help you fix this. With just 2 or 3 lines.

[ashen niche]

i would advise against it

[gritty canopy]

He screenshots the first part because he knows that’s where the problem is.

[short ibex]

I was making that point clear because the program will basically be used on an ESP32. only when I put it running, they don't recognize all the keys.

[ashen niche]

it clearly isnt the purpose of the screenshot? and i doubt the cause of the issue is there

[gritty canopy]

Mhm.

[gritty canopy]

Then why not screenshot the full code when you say there is potentially more.

Because how else could we know the problem when there isn’t much to work with.

[ashen niche]

how would you screenshot 1000+ lines..?

[summer trout]

what're you using to write files to use esp32?

[ashen niche]

"PS: I think I can't upload the file where the code is. (I'm new to programming)"

[gritty canopy]

You don’t.

[alpine hinge]

If you guys are unsure, dm @alpine osprey to ask the moderators without pinging them about whether or not this question is deemed appropriate or not.

!rule 5

[alpine hinge]

Instead of polluting this chat and arguing.

[upbeat trench]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may violate terms of service, or that may be deemed inappropriate, malicious, or illegal.

[gritty canopy]

Why don’t they just give me the code I can help.

[alpine hinge]

Because of this server's rule 5.

[covert niche]

☝️

Dang it. @gritty canopy

(Sorry @serene jolt for the wrong ping 😦 )

[summer trout]

if you wanna help them, help them, but i'm not

[gritty canopy]

@short ibex do you know what the problem could potentially be.

Also what keys aren’t getting logged.

[short ibex]

It doesn't capture multiple keys, for example I press the D-keys and then let's say I press any other key (let's say the A key and then the C key while still pressing the D-key) almost all of that event is not captured.

[gritty canopy]

That makes sense.

You’re using the keyboard model. You would need to add new code for multiple keys to be registered at the same time. If you haven’t already done that?

[short ibex]

visual studio code.

[summer trout]

i mean are you using a usb

[gritty canopy]

? What is it.

[summer trout]

bc those have microusb ports

[gritty canopy]

Mmh.

[alpine hinge]

!rule 5 ... basically don't help on a question if it can be deemed inappropriate/malicious.

[upbeat trench]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may violate terms of service, or that may be deemed inappropriate, malicious, or illegal.

[gritty canopy]

It’s fine I think.

[ashen niche]

whether its fine or not i dont think is up to you

[short ibex]

I don't know what that code would be. Let me find one.

[alpine hinge]

sure, but that's not really your choice to make, dm @alpine osprey if you're unsure

[gritty canopy]

Ok I will do if I’m unsure.

[short ibex]

yes

[gritty canopy]

@short ibex so if I’m holding d and pressing c it should do d and c but instead it dose d and ignore c

@short ibex you would need to implement a while loop. I think I’m not sure because I can’t see your code.

In theory you need to check the key states not just the single key event.

[short ibex]

Maybe, but I don't know how to explain it exactly.

[gritty canopy]

Ok so if I press d and then let go of the d key and then press c what should happen and what dose happen?

[short ibex]

Can I send you private?

[gritty canopy]

Sure

[alpine hinge]

fyi that's also considered suspicious as this server has a sorta strict-ish policy on no-dms

[ashen niche]

pretty sure that isnt allowed, could be wrong tho

[short ibex]

The correct thing should be that the two keys are used simultaneously, but I don't understand why it happens that it doesn't, that it only registers the last key.

[alpine hinge]

!paste Bt-dubs, you can paste code with the link below

[upbeat trench]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[gritty canopy]

Mhm. That’s actually confusing.

So if I press d and then let go of the d key and then I press c what does happen? Does it work as intended. Let’s just get this part dealt with first @short ibex

[short ibex]

If the keys are used one by one it works almost normally, but if you use two or more keys it gets confused. and it doesn't record what it should record

[gritty canopy]

Ah ok I get it now.

Yea that’s likely because they are indeed being checked simultaneously.

[short ibex]

I'm trying to upload the codes to where he told me to go up.

[gritty canopy]

Is that a good idea?

[short ibex]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/L54A

[gritty canopy]

You need to continually check the key states.

[alpine hinge]

That code does seem very AI.

[clever grove]

this really sounds suspicious, putting a keylogger on a esp32...
so that it can be connected between a computer and a keyboard and log all the key strokes?

[alpine hinge]

And that too.

[short ibex]

That should be the whole code, but I still don't understand why I get that error, or is it because I do it for an SP32, I have no idea what happens, I'm still new to this 😦

[gritty canopy]

Thanks.

[gritty canopy]

That’s fine…

[gritty canopy]

I’ll try to tell you.

Can we go private.

[ashen niche]

sloppy AI code is near impossible to debug, but hey, im not stopping you

[ashen niche]

did you not read this?
#1370406576048967822 message

[gritty canopy]

Ok. I can pick out the main parts I think I know the issue so it should be easy to locate.

[ashen niche]

okay great? dont see any reason to go into dms

[gritty canopy]

@short ibex do you know anything about serial1 in your code?

[alpine hinge]

fyi no 2, it's harder to moderate something if you're in dms, so please try your best to stay in here.

[short ibex]

I think I should leave the subject as a finish, since many people think that this cannot be used by oneself or for oneself, thank you all for responding so soon. thanks a lot

[gritty canopy]

They don’t need to keep track of everything that ruins our privacy.

[alpine hinge]

It's not about ruining privacy, it's just a matter of safety and regulation.

[gritty canopy]

That’s ok.

[gritty canopy]

They don’t need to know what goes on my end. That’s up to me and @short ibex

[alpine hinge]

The same program in the hands of different people can have drastically different outcomes. So if you do end up helping someone with malicious intent finish up their malicious code, then nobody will be able to stop you if you're in a dm.

[ashen niche]

whats so difficult with following rules? and if I remember correctly, werent you banned from this server for a week like over a month ago?

[gritty canopy]

That’s true.

[gritty canopy]

I can’t remember it was probably longer.

I don’t remember you to be honest.

[alpine hinge]

We're not trying to ruin your privacy. If you want to have a casual convo with them in a DM, that's ok. But when it comes to helping someone with their code, it's best to keep it here.

[gritty canopy]

Any way this is actually a very fun problem. I’ll be working on it my self and don’t worry I won’t be using it for any malicious purposes.

[clever grove]

if you can build something malicious yourself without any help, no one will really know unless you tell anyone about it and no one will really be able to stop you either, but people that can't do it them selves maybe shouldn't be doing it at all

[gritty canopy]

Oki. That’s a good point bro.
