Working with Threads - Gilush - Feb-02-2021
Hi all,
So I have this small program that does multiple actions:
- Mouse - Captures mouse location.
- Capture system information to file.
- Keylogger - logging keyboard presses and save to file.
- Screenshot - Taking a full screenshot and save to file.
- Upload - Uploads dir content to FTP every n time.
I'm struggeling with terminating the thread with "when" condition or "if" condition but I still get 2 threads running infintly.
this is the output I get (no errors):
Quote:| Mouse: False | Screen: True | Keylogger: True | Upload: False
| Mouse: False | Screen: True | Keylogger: True | Upload: False
| Mouse: False | Screen: True | Keylogger: True | Upload: False
| Mouse: False | Screen: True | Keylogger: True | Upload: False
| Mouse: False | Screen: True | Keylogger: True | Upload: False
| Mouse: False | Screen: True | Keylogger: True | Upload: False
| Mouse: False | Screen: True | Keylogger: True | Upload: False
Process finished with exit code -1
EDIT: Problem solved.

Quote:EDIT: Problem solved.For anyone stumbling upon this in the future, I recommend using a simple Event object. The long-running threads can just check if
event.is_set(), and when you want them all to stop, you set it, so they know to stop: event.set(). The Event object will handle all the details for you to make it thread safe.https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html#event-objects

That is exactly the solution I used in my code.
(since the code is an offensive cyber oriented project I removed it from the post.)
Should have posted the solution though.. thanks for posting it!
