Could you build this?
Partial The UI and basic script execution are straightforward, but reliably hooking into low-level Windows security event logs and capturing webcam video while a session is locked requires deep OS-level Windows service engineering.
What it would actually take: The system requires a native Windows Service running under the SYSTEM account written in C#/.NET or C++ utilizing the Windows Event Log API (EvtSubscribe) to listen for Security Event ID 4625 (failed logins). Capturing webcam video across locked Winlogon desktop sessions requires navigating session isolation (Session 0 isolation bypass) and direct DirectShow/MediaFoundation access, along with DPAPI or AES-GCM local cryptographic storage.
