FakeLogonScreen is a utility to fake the Windows logon screen in order to obtain the user's password. The password entered is validated against the Active Directory or local machine to make sure it is correct and is then displayed to the console or saved to disk.
It can either be executed by simply running the .exe file, or using for example Cobalt Strike's execute-assembly command.
Binaries available from the Releases page.
- FakeLogonScreen.exe: Writes output to console which for example is compatible with Cobalt Strike
- FakeLogonScreenToFile.exe: Writes output to console and
