Could you build this?

No Developing malware/red-team tooling that hooks internal undocumented Windows components like CredProvDataModel.dll inside logonui.exe requires specialized offensive security, reverse engineering, and Windows internals expertise.

What it would actually take: Requires low-level C/C++ development using MinHook/Detours or manual assembly patching to inject DLLs into session 0/logonui.exe, bypassing Protected Process Light (PPL) or exploiting elevation mechanisms to intercept undocumented COM interfaces and memory buffers holding credential strings. It requires reverse-engineering Windows undocumented DLL exports and debugging winlogon/logonui using WinDbg.
