.exe pls. I want to get my script kiddy on.

Not going to compile a virus at work!

Maybe this long weekend if I find time I'll whip something up. I know it works on Win7 and server 2008, but haven't tested it on 8+ but I assume it should work since Microsoft always lets all sorts of exploitable stuff stay in for backwards compatibility reasons.

Still looking for 'shit' key.

windows key + M (minimizes all your windows to show only desktop)

This might be the first relevant use for the windows key.

I use this so much on a day to day basis. Especially running dual monitors and just going crazy with multiple windows for work, minimize everything I have then open up the few windows I might actually need at that given time.

Actually; I've always used Windows + R for run box cuz appwiz.cpl is better than clicking 4 different places.

Yep.

I make extensive use of Win + L.

Well I pried mine out with a screwdriver and put a piece of tape over it so I never accidentally minimize eq again!!

You guys sound like you work on your computers.

You can hack windows rather easily without knowing the root password or stealing the hash from memory (lol windows unsalted passwords 2014)

Basically create a named pipe from something with system level privileges, impersonate the pipe, open the thread token, and then spawn a reverse shell with it.

or burn ophcrack for windows to a cd and boot your system from that disc.

you basically hit a button and it finds the passwords.

This can be a remote exploit that is more effective than brute force (and why bother when you could just pass the hash). Also allows you to steal domain level credentials instead of just local. But yea cracking the passwords on a local machine is easy since they use the same crappy hashing algorithm they did 20 years ago. Windows "security" truly is a nightmare and it is yet another reason most infrastructure runs on the superior *nix based operating systems.

Linux is terrible.
