SuperSimpleKeyLogger

Super Simple Key Logger is a minimal Windows application designed to capture and display keystrokes in real time using a low-level keyboard hook. It intercepts keyboard events via the Windows API, translates them into Unicode characters, and outputs them to the console. This project is provided as a simple demonstration of how to use Windows hooks to monitor keyboard input. Only tested on windows 10 and 11.
