Control Keyboard

Allow the attacker to send key inputs to the victim computer as if using the victim's keyboard

Initial implementation is complete. However, there are a few issues:

• Some inputs are dropped, especially when typing quickly. More testing is needed to tell if this is a limitation of Pygame, the current GUI implementation (linking frame rate to socket receive speed), or a result of C reading only one input when the buffer may contain multiple inputs.
• When holding the shift key and moving the cursor with the arrow keys, no text is selected. More testing is needed to figure out if similar issues occur with any other key combinations.
• When using the Windows key, focus gets pulled away from the Pygame window by the attacker computer acting on the key press. Either Pygame/Python needs to prevent the system from receiving these key presses or a workaround needs to be designed.

Keyboard control has been updated to deal with dropped inputs and fix the issue of using shift and the arrow keys to select text. Other key combinations that use the extended keys should work properly now as well. However, it seems that the speed of Pygame and design of most keyboards cause other limitations.

• Typing too quickly will still cause inputs to be dropped. This seems to be an issue with Pygame, but more testing will be needed to know for sure why this is happening. For now though, just try not to type at the speed of sound, aight?
• Pressing down multiple keys at the same time can result in incorrect key presses being detected. From a couple minutes on Google, it seems this is caused by the keyboard hardware itself. As I understand it, many keyboard put multiple keys on the same "circuit" to reduce complexity and cost, but this also means that pressing all those keys at the same time will cause input errors.
