Technologies Used

1. Python

• Core Language: Python will be the primary language for developing the desktop agent application.
• Libraries:
  • pyautogui: For capturing screenshots.
  • pynput: For monitoring keyboard and mouse activity.
  • asyncio: For handling asynchronous tasks like periodic screenshot capture and data uploads.
  • requests: For sending HTTP requests to upload data to cloud services.
  • pymongo: For interaction with MongoDB if local storage is required before upload.

2. Amazon Web Services (AWS)

• Amazon S3: For storing and managing uploaded screenshots and activity logs.
• AWS Lambda: For handling the backend processing of uploads, such as file storage or data transformation.
• AWS IAM: For managing permissions and roles required for secure interaction with S3 and Lambda.
• Boto3: AWS SDK for Python to interact with S3 for uploading files.

3. FastAPI

• Used for creating an API that handles configuration updates from a web application, allowing the agent to fetch new configurations (e.g., interval times, screenshot settings).

4. MongoDB

• A NoSQL database used for temporarily storing captured data locally (e.g., activity logs and screenshots) before uploading to cloud storage.

5. React.js

• For the front-end of the web application where users can configure the agent settings (e.g., screenshot intervals, whether screenshots should be blurred, etc.).

6. Encryption & Security

• PyCryptodome: A library for implementing encryption to ensure that data is securely uploaded to S3.

7. System-level Tools

• Time Zone Management: Utilizing Python's tzlocal or pytz libraries for detecting and managing time zone changes.

8. Testing and Debugging Tools

• Postman: For testing and validating APIs through automated requests, response checks, and collaboration on API development.

9. Error Handling

• Retry Mechanisms: For retrying failed uploads due to connectivity issues.
• Queueing: To handle data that couldn’t be uploaded immediately, ensuring it's uploaded once the network is restored.
