Ardamax Keylogger Tutorial

A step-by-step guide to successfully creating a deployment package, sending it, and receiving information using Ardamax Keylogger. Now, in this guide, I only use one method of recieving information, and that's an FTP. I also do not protect the files. Any suggestions and comments are appreciated. Let's begin.

Head on over to:

http://www.ardamax.com/keylogger/

And scroll to the bottom. Download the free trial.

After downloading, open the program and install it. Simple enough, right? After installing, go to wherever you installed it at, and open it. It should open at the bottom right corner of your screen, down by the time. If not, press ctrl+shift+alt+h. Now, leave that alone.

Next, go to:

http://www.theserials.com/serial/serial_ardamax.html

Download the appropriate serial.

Now, open it, and it should give you a name and a jumble of letters and numbers.

Go back to the Ardamax icon at the bottom right, and right-click it.

Click the "Enter Registration Key" button.

Use your serial/crack to unlock the full version. Congratulations, you are now ready to make your first deployment package.

~NOTE~

If you want to attach the keylogger to an existing file, go ahead and place that on your desktop.

~NOTE~

Again, right click the icon at the bottom-right.

Click "Remote Installation".

Click next.

Now, if you want to attach your keylogger to an existing file, tick the box that says "Append keylogger engine to.." etc etc.

If you tick it, click Browse, and select the file.

If not, continue down. The installation folder on target computer needs to remain Windows System Folder for added security, so leave it be.

Add any additional components you would like. I just leave mine as "log viewer" since all I grab are passwords from games.

From this point, click next.

Now, this part is self explanatory. I tick all of the boxes, as to hide it from everything visible, otherwise they can just see it and be like "Wtf", uninstall, etc.

Can't have that, now can we?

Click next.

For Security, do what you want. I leave all of it as-is and click next again.

Now, untick the "Check for updates" box, else it will check for updates on their computer and they will know that they are bugged.

Click next.

Tick the "Start in hidden mode" box, and leave the "Run on windows startup" as-is.

You may pick a date to self destruct, if you like. Sounds noisy, right? It simply removes itself on selected date. If not, leave it alone, and it will never self destruct.

Click next.

Tick the "Send logs every.." box, and choose how frequently you would like to recieve information that has been sent.

Select 'FTP' and de-select everything else as a delivery method.

You may choose what you want to see. I take out screenshots. Causes lag for me.

Leave log format alone.

You may choose to send logs if it exceeds a certain size, or if you want it to send no matter what, untick the box, which is what I do.

Continue on! (next.)

Now the fun part. .

Head on over to:

http://phpnet.us/

Make an account, etc etc.

Save your FTP Account name and password. You'll need it in a moment.

This site will be the site that holds all information recieved by the keylogger.

When you're done, scroll down a bit.

Under "FTP Accounts", click "File Manager".

Near the top, click the "New Dir" button, and create a directory by any name you want. My favorite is "lolbeans".

Now, hold that thought. Bring the keylogger back.

In Ftp Host, put in:

ftp.phpnet.us

In "Remote Folder", put in the new directory's name you made. So, in this scenario, "lolbeans" without the "'s.

Fill in your Username and Password.

I leave Passive Mode checked because I'm not sure what it does, rofl. :[

Leave port alone as well. It's default.

Now to make sure everything is correctly done, click test. It should tell you it all went through. And to double check, you can refresh your open window. Click your "lolbeans" directory and there should be a test file in it.

Click next, if you're still alive.

Tick anything and everything you want.

Next.

If you selected screenshots to be enabled, pick how you want them delivered. Click next. If not, ignore this step.

Browse where you want the keylogger to be placed. You can also change the icon, which is nifty. If you're apologizing to a bitch ex girlfriend/boyfriend of yours, you can change the icon to a notepad and name it "Apology", and they fall for it.

Next.

This screen will go over with you everything that you have chosen. Make sure it's all correct.

Click Finish.

Now, if you appended the keylogger to something, you're going to need to put the "install" (feel free to rename it so it's not so obvious) and appended file into a .zip or .rar file.

If not, you have the simple "Install" on your desktop. Also, feel free to rename it to something like "Apology" or "OMFGFunnypicture!!!.jpg"

Upload the file or .rar/.zip somewhere, and let your target download it. They will double click it, and on their end, nothing will happen, but secretly, they have been keylogged.

Check your FTP Directory that you made as frequently as you told it to send logs, and you'll have everything you need.

Feel free to test it out on yourself.
