A screenshot tool is a software application or built-in feature that allows users to capture an image of what is currently displayed on their computer screen, or a selected portion of it. These tools are commonly used for documenting issues, sharing visual information, or creating tutorials. In cybersecurity, screenshot tools can be used for both legitimate and malicious purposes. For instance, IT professionals may use them to document security incidents, while attackers might use malicious screenshot tools to secretly capture sensitive information from a victim’s screen. Many operating systems include basic screenshot functionality, but advanced tools may offer features such as annotation, editing, and secure sharing.
