  2. Create the following String Values

  3. AutoAdminLogin set to 1

  4. DefaultUserName set to the username

  5. DefaultPassword set to the password

  6. Optional: DefaultDomain set to the domain

Verification Steps

  1. Configure autologin

  2. Start msfconsole

  3. get a shell on a vulnerable windows computer

  4. Do: use post/windows/gather/credentials/windows_autologin

  5. Do: set session [#]

  6. Do: run

  7. You should receive credentials.
