#KON BOOT USB WINDOWS XP PASSWORD#
System administrators and Windows security folks know this is actually a pretty weak model. These accounts then have passwords placed on them which (theoretically) should discourage unauthorized users from logging onto the system and accessing the applications and data. Many business (and some home users) who run Windows decide that one good method to protect their system from unauthorized access is to set up one or more (local system) user accounts. As well as to offer some mitigation suggestions. In my mind, it would be irresponsible to post a “come and get it” call for this tool without first trying to see if it left any malicious files, root-kits, or other “baddies” behind in it’s wake. Very frightening from a sysadmin standpoint, but cool nonetheless.

Completely bypassing the Windows GINA login on XP systems as well as Vista and Windows 7 (of which the login’s don’t actually use the GINA method of XP/W2K, but it works anyway).Ĭool. I have tried it on a number of systems once I had some firmer knowledge of the tool and in my cases it worked as promised. The password has been magically bypassed! Then you can either leave the password-field blank and click on through, or you can enter whatever garbage you want for the password. Note: you must know this ahead of time unless the user name is set to save/display automatically. Once at a Windows login screen, enter the user account name you wish to access and bypass the password. If the BIOS/system “supports” Kon-Boot some programming checks will be displayed and the boot will hand off to the normal Windows loader processes. Hit or the spacebar to start the injection process.

To use it, download one of the image files (I used the CD ISO) and burn the ISO file to a disk.īoot your target Windows system from the CD and you will get the Kon-Boot splash screen. I’ve avoided posting on it for some time as (like TinyApps blogger Miles) I’ve felt compelled to first try to understand what it is, how it may be working, and what impact (negative/positive) it might have on a system.
Finally, please consider this is my first linux project so far :) Entire Kon-Boot was written in pure x86 assembly, using old grandpa-geezer TASM 4.0. It was acctually started as silly project of mine, which was born from my never-ending memory problems :) Secondly it was mainly created for Ubuntu, later i have made few add-ons to cover some other linux distributions. For Windows systems it allows to enter any password protected profile without any knowledge of the password. In the current compilation state it allows to log into a linux system as 'root' user without typing the correct password or to elevate privileges from current user to root.
