## What it is
A Windows command-line proof-of-concept tool that brute-forces local user account passwords without requiring any privileges, exploiting the LogonUser/CreateProcessWithLogon API family. It is aimed at pentesters demonstrating the risk of missing account lockout policies.

## Use cases
- brute force windows local account password
- test windows account lockout policy
- crack windows password from guest account
- pentest windows password strength with wordlist
- demonstrate brute-force attack on windows logon

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight PoC to show missing account lockout risk on Windows
- you are a pentester testing local password strength from an unprivileged account

## When to avoid
- target runs a modern Windows version with default account lockout enabled
- you need a maintained or licensed tool (no license, PoC only)
- you want a general-purpose password auditing suite

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: penetration-testing, security
- domain: security, penetration-testing, windows
- platform: windows, cli
- tags: password-cracking, brute-force, proof-of-concept, delphi, pentest-tool
