WireTap is a .NET 4.0 project to consolidate several functions used to interact with a user's hardware, including: Screenshots (Display + WebCam Imaging), Audio (Both line-in and line-out), Keylogging, & Activate voice recording when the user says a keyword phrase. Note: Only one method can be ran at a time.
