Subject: Evading Windows Secure Keys
In Windows, you have to press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to log on. The
rationale here is that only the kernel can intercept these; if you
were to write a log-on program that hides the desktop, then when you
convince the user to press CAD it will just ask them if they want to
lock their computer.
I asked a friend today if he recalls how to up a key in VB. He
couldn't remember how, but does remember using that to up CTRL so when
you push CTRL-ALT-DEL windows sends CTRL, ALT-DEL to the application
(note that ALT-DELETE-CTRL, activated in that order, doesn't get the
attention of the Windows kernel). He had done this a long time ago
to... yeah. Get people's passwords with a fake log-in box.
I've been unable to verify that this works or find the correct API
call to raise a key. Anyone have any comments?
