Keylogger in Go

This Go program is a simple keylogger that monitors keyboard input and logs it to a file. Below is an explanation of its components:

How It Works

• GetAsyncKeyState: Checks the state of a specified virtual key. Used to detect key presses.
• GetKeyboardState: Retrieves the status of all virtual keys. Used to check the current state of the keyboard.
• MapVirtualKeyW: Translates a virtual-key code into a scan code or character value. Used to translate virtual key codes to Unicode.
• ToUnicode: Translates the specified virtual-key code and keyboard state to the corresponding Unicode character or characters.

The program continuously loops to monitor key presses and writes the corresponding Unicode characters to a log file located at C:\temp\keylogger.txt.
