Need to change the file extension? - aaabbbc4 - Feb 4, 2010
Hey I downloaded a keylogger. I named it pictures.exe I attached it to a gmail but gmail doesn't allow exe files to be sent. Any way I can change this? Maybe make the .exe appear as a JPEG?
Much appreciation to those who answered.

nope, it won't work. Gmail doesn't allow exe's in email. ASnd changing to jpg will not work.

The only way to do this Is to re-name the exe to something like "exx". Gmail will accept this. Then you can use a bit of social engineering to your victim to re-named the file back to "exe" ONLY once It's downloaded to his/her system.
The other way Is If you compress the Keylogger with winrar. This Is fine with Gmail also. Give the victim a link to download winrar (not everyone may have It installed).
Just be cautious though, If you've crypted your keylogger, compressing It with winrar can sometimes stuff up the cryption.
Don't be afraid to experiment.
Good luck :)

or just upload it to the likes of datahosthost.com or uppit.com and send them the link for them to download :)
