Well Known Win 2K Vulnerability Not Fixed in Vista


Though this is the first I've heard of it, a simple hack for any Windows machine since 2000 is to replace the executable file that run when you hit Shift 5 times (called sticky-keys). Since this can be run from the logon screen, as long as a hacker can gain root access to a machine once (say they're a legit user on a multi-user machine), they can use this to bypass logon.
