News of Owning Vista from the boot with VBootKit developed by NVlabs Nitin and Vipin is still buzzing around our ear and this year you’ve an another hot news. Guess what?
Yet another tool to unlock the windows box without password is now on internet. It’s HOT.
Boileau, a New Zealand based consultant with Immunity Inc., demoed a tool way back in 2006 to gain Firmware memory access. Years have passed but no solution to this serious issue from Microsoft. Finally Boileau decides to release this tool on his websit. Its called Winlockpwn, bypasses windows authentication via firewire, as demoed at Ruxcon 2006, and released on Risky Business, 2008.
This tool lets you inject the code to modify the Window’s password protection code. All you need is to connect to the target machine via its Firmware port from your Linux-based computer and gain the full write access to its memory.
