Code Execution while locked

[korang]

I know I could search for this, but being a bit lazy, apologies.  But are there any payloads that execute on target device while it is locked?  Or is there any way to make a payload execute on a locked device?

 

TIA

Weeeeeell, if the thing your plugging in can independently run payloads on itself (e.g. Bash Bunny), then yes ? 

For example, it can still effect the locked machine's network connection by passing ethernet ?

There's a payload someone built that was meant to unlock machines by using the network technique but I've forgotten how it worked. Check below.
