This is a fairly\\n          close copy of the old xspy c program which has been on Kali for a long time.\\n          The module works by connecting to the X11 session, creating a background\\n          window, binding a keyboard to it and creating a notification alert when a key\\n          is pressed.\\n\\n          One of the major limitations of xspy, and thus this module, is that it polls\\n          at a very fast rate, faster than a key being pressed is released (especially before\\n          the repeat delay is hit). To combat printing multiple characters for a single key\\n          press, repeat characters arent printed when typed in a very fast manor. This is also\\n          an imperfect keylogger in that keystrokes arent stored and forwarded but status\\n          displayed at poll time.
