Hack a locked PC with a R700 USB Computer (or Raspberry Pi Zero)

[Jan]

All you need to hack a locked Windows or Mac PC is a R700 device

With a cheap bit of hardware and physical access, you can get into someone’s locked machine in seconds.

Oh great

Assuming of course that the machine is setup to use DHCP

This has been possible with a bootable cd\dvd\usb for a long time already.

No one heard of Hirens or Kon-boot?

They are talking getting into a locked machine that is already running.

Not rebooting the machine and changing the password.

Suppose you have a point here, but where's the "fun" in that

 

[supersunbird]

Yes, Hirens (or whatever boot cd) wouldn't let you bypass bitlocker or veracrypt (aka truecrypts descendant) encryption, this could.

Used to have fun clearing customers pesky passwords when they returned then for repairs

Exactly.

does it work on domain accounts?

Or just build your own rubber ducky, for like $10 ....

....old attack is old.

Still seems pretty effective though...

 

[FaSMaN]

It is , and you can write some immensely complex scripts to run on them

Such a long winded approach to a simple problem. Just give me 10 minutes with a flash drive. If files aren't encrypted I can get access to any file which is really what you want when hacking someone's pc and not their login details.

And if its encrypted but the Windows is just locked?

And if its encrypted, booted up and the no one has logged in yet?

How many times do people actually use encryption?

Not many, but that's their fault, they can suffer the identity theft issues if their laptop gets stolen, not me.

This methods shown can probably circumvent the encrypted hassle, as long as the device is on (sleeping as well?) and locked (obviously not if hibernating, would want the drive encryption password).
