Question

I wanted to create a keylogger. I found a tutorial on it, and I coded it correctly, and it works. I understand basically all of the code, except for the stealth method:

void Stealth()
{

    HWND stealth;
    AllocConsole();
    stealth = FindWindowA("ConsoleWindowClass", NULL);
    ShowWindow(stealth,SW_HIDE);
}

if someone could give me a line by line break down of what is happening in this method, that would be absolutely amazing.

Answer 1

HWND stealth;

declare a window handle.

AllocConsole();

Allocates a new console for the calling process.

stealth = FindWindowA("ConsoleWindowClass", NULL);

Find the window handle with class name “ConsoleWindowClass”.

ShowWindow(stealth,SW_HIDE);

Hide it.
