> The mod injects only in the process Winlogon.exe, and exits once the handle of the memory area is closed. It does not hook any functions.

Yep. Sure. Going to let a Russian utility fuck with winlogon.exe. Excellent idea.

Yeah, it would be so much better if it was American-made, because as everyone knows there are no corrupt people in the US and every person of Russian descent is a spy for their motherland's government (:

Yes, it would be better if it was American made, because the US government has lesser capability to compell otherwise independent developers to do their bidding.

That was my first concern too, but it does look like you can build the binary from source:

Why such a simple UI utility app needed a VSCodium/Electron UI? The author seems to be well versed in Win32 API, so why not just learn the GUI part as well? It's not that hard.

[icapybara]

Doesn't mean it's safe.

And the author is a security/malware researcher. Yeah, you might want to pass.

Both the mod's author and Windhawk's autor live in Israel, if it makes you feel more safe.

[Muromec]

just add the r===ain keyboard to input sources and you will be fine.

>fuck with winlogon.exe. Excellent idea.

That's mostly irrelevant because all the thing baddies want to do with your computer, they can do without touching winlogon or even getting admin.
