Can i embed a keylogger to an image? - Ronnie Coleman - Jan 27, 2017

How can i embed a keylogger to an image?

If i got someone to code it for me, how much would that be?

Closerst thing you can get to an image that runs a key logger when you open the image is extension spoofing
Unless you mean using steganography or whatever to embed the file into an image.
If you did that, you would have to know its there and personally extract it to run the file, though.

How about file binding? Anyone who knows how to do this?

File binding will still make the file look like an .exe, it will also just open the image file when you run it. With a combination of a bound image file and a spoofed extension, that is the closest you will get to what you seem to be looking for.

Technically you can hide it inside the file itself but it wont run. But no, you cannot make a .jpg solo extension that will run how you want unless a new exploit is found

If you are talking about binding your logger so that once the image is opened your logger is ran, then no. You don't be able to do that. As stated above your only chance is spoofing the extension. You are able to do this with .doc and .pdf files though so you might want to look into that, silent versions will set you back for these exploits though(especially the pdf version)

Thanks for the replies. I've decided that i'll be using a rat instead
