Is that just on Vista?

[–]shakalaka[S] -1 points0 points ago

No- this is way back from the Microsoft NT days.

[–]Balthanos -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, I believe 2kp had this flaw as well.

[–]enkafan 1 point2 points ago

no, this is from Windows 95. This is what the NT login screen looked like

[–]Neppons -1 points0 points ago

In Vista all you had to do is hold the Return key for around 5seconds and you got signed in(granted it was in the very beginning)

Note: this is also part of why modern OS in higher security modes require Control - Alt - Delete to logon. That interrupts the system and makes sure that nothing else could be running to bypass the logon screen.

if you have your Windows setup for standard home edition without the control alt delete it's possible that you will still be vulnerable to this type of attack, although I know of none available in the wild.

Vista had flaws, but the biggest ones weren't security.
