    Keylogger, writing to arbitrary files, downloading files from the internet, yeah this totally isn't going to be a piece of malware.

    You will need a library like CURL that lets you make HTTP calls.
    Code:
    >+++++++++[<++++++++>-]<.>+++++++[<++++>-]<+.+++++++..+++.[-]>++++++++[<++++>-] <.>+++++++++++[<++++++++>-]<-.--------.+++.------.--------.[-]>++++++++[<++++>- ]<+.[-]++++++++++.
