Is it possible to open an admin powershell and run a script on a locked PC?

Hello all, I have 4 headless PCs here at my house and I was wondering in the event the internet goes down and I need to do a file transfer or something. Could I just plug the bash bunny in and have it execute a powershell script so I don't have to find a spare monitor and keyboard? Thanks, new to the bashbunny.

Take a step back and think about what you are asking.

Ask it this way -- "Am I able to accomplish this with a keyboard, a mouse, a network accessible linux computer, a serial device, a usb ethernet adapater and a thumb drive?"

Alright, am I able to do this by setting the bash bunny to an ethernet adapter to bypass the lock screen on windows to open a powershell then have it type the commands? Sorry new to all this still, gotta learn somewhere >.<

Okay, from your current understanding, can you open PowerShell on the lock screen with a keyboard and mouse?

  • No. Well, at least not without playing with a multiboot USB/CD (have a Google around for the "sticky keys backdoor")

Can you open PowerShell with an ethernet adapter or a serial device?

  • I can't think of any ways. However, you can grab credentials from a locked device using Responder or Metasploit or something along those lines.

Can you open PowerShell on a locked screen using a 2nd PC connected to the computer?

  • Yes, if the second computer is a domain controller who 'owns' that PC (but, obviously, the Bash Bunny isn't, so No)

Yeah. Microsoft wouldn't be very smart if they allowed people to use PowerShell from the lock screen by default, haha. I think there are a few self-elevating techniques people could use to 'fake' being the Administrator and start ripping apart the PC from the lock screen, haha.
