Spoofing credential dialogs on macOS, Linux and Windows
A nifty way for adversaries to acquire passwords during post-exploitation is to spoof credential dialogs and perform a local phishing attack. This means tricking a user on a compromised computer to enter their password. Unfortunately, users are conditioned to enter their credentials frequently and therefore don’t question random passwords prompts too much. Long, long time ago… but nothing has changed The idea to spoof a credential dialog is one of the most simple ideas one might come up with.
