Abstract:
Logstream are a type of computer malware that records keystroke events on the keyboard and saves them to a log file,
allowing it to steal sensitive data like passwords. Malicious software captures usernames, PINs, and passwords as a result.
Without drawing the user's attention, the hacker logstream possess a big threat to both Transactions such as commercial and

attacker can collect valuable data without entering into a strong database or file server using this method. The main purpose of
logstream is to tamper with the chain of events that occur when a key is pressed, and information is displayed on the screen as
