Daily Blog #737: Sunday Funday 2/2/25


 

 

Hello Reader,

It's Sunday! This week's challenge is all about Windows Hello! There is always a discussion of who was actually in front of the computer and with Windows Hello there is a chance you can say it was actually a certain person if they were using one of the biometric features. Let's see what you can determine from the logs left behind.


The Prize:

$100 Amazon Giftcard


The Rules:

  1. You must post your answer before Friday 2/7/25 7PM CST (GMT -5)
  2. The most complete answer wins
  3. You are allowed to edit your answer after posting
  4. If two answers are too similar for one to win, the one with the earlier posting time wins
  5. Be specific and be thoughtful
  6. Anonymous entries are allowed, please email them to dlcowen@gmail.com. Please state in your email if you would like to be anonymous or not if you win.
  7. In order for an anonymous winner to receive a prize they must give their name to me, but i will not release it in a blog post
  8. AI assistance is welcomed but if a post is deemed to be entirely AI written it will not qualify for a prize. 


The Challenge:

 Test and document what logs are left behind when using Windows Hello to login into a Windows 10/11 system. This should include:

1. PIN Login

2. Fingerprint login (optional)

3. Facial Recognition login (preferred but optional)

bonus points for determining where the data for the authentication is stored.
