1
00:00:07,030 --> 00:00:12,220
Really quickly, let me show you how this hack is going to work, we're going to make use of a feature

2
00:00:12,220 --> 00:00:18,610
that has turned on all the way back to early versions of Windows like Windows XP, Windows 2000, all

3
00:00:18,610 --> 00:00:23,320
the way to the brand new seven eight, Windows 10 Windows 10.1.

4
00:00:23,650 --> 00:00:29,740
You'll be able to use this feature to to break into a computer once you see how to do these few steps.

5
00:00:30,130 --> 00:00:32,760
But let me show you, first of all, the concept.

6
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:40,540
So if I'm on just notice I'm on a Windows PC here, all I'm going to do is press the shift key five

7
00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:41,410
or six times.

8
00:00:41,410 --> 00:00:44,020
One, two, three, four, five.

9
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:48,210
And you see something comes up called the Sticky Keys assistant.

10
00:00:48,850 --> 00:00:53,200
This used to be the handicap accessibility or the set high contrast.

11
00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:58,420
There have been lots of names for this over the years from Windows XP all the way up through the newest

12
00:00:58,420 --> 00:00:59,230
Windows 10.

13
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,990
But this is giving us the sticky keys option.

14
00:01:01,990 --> 00:01:07,970
If you press the shift key five or 10 times, you'll be able to get a pop up window just like this one.

15
00:01:08,470 --> 00:01:12,640
This is a file that runs whenever someone hits the shift key repeatedly.

16
00:01:13,060 --> 00:01:17,980
The keyboard shortcut you can see here to turn on sticky keys is to press five times.

17
00:01:18,220 --> 00:01:23,400
And this gives us the ability to make the shift control and alt keys sticky.

18
00:01:23,740 --> 00:01:28,270
So if you have limited mobility in your hands or you only have one hand free while you're doing something

19
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:37,600
or you have any ability that requires you to use the shift and then press a key or control, then press

20
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,890
the key all the imprecisely.

21
00:01:39,070 --> 00:01:44,680
If you can't hold both down together, then you can turn on sticky keys and it's a handy feature and

22
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,830
it's built into just about every version of Windows that exists.

23
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,530
So we're going to use this.

24
00:01:50,650 --> 00:01:54,160
I'm running this on a Windows seven box, but it works great on Windows 10 as well.

25
00:01:54,610 --> 00:02:00,190
And we're going to use this to get a back door into the computer so that we can add an administrative

26
00:02:00,190 --> 00:02:00,540
user.

27
00:02:00,850 --> 00:02:04,210
The cool thing to know about this is that even works from the login screen.

28
00:02:04,870 --> 00:02:06,880
So if I log out.

29
00:02:08,580 --> 00:02:16,110
And come to the login screen, I can hold down the shift key five times from here, and this is the

30
00:02:16,110 --> 00:02:23,610
key that makes the sticky keys attack so powerful is that we can cause a window because a program to

31
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:25,930
run before we've even logged into the computer.

32
00:02:26,190 --> 00:02:30,150
So if you have an old desktop computer, an old laptop computer that's running Windows that you need

33
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:33,900
to get into, but you don't remember the password, here's how we're going to do it.

34
00:02:35,490 --> 00:02:37,250
We'll see that coming up in the next lesson.
