WinLogOnView is a tool, developed by NirSoft, that collects and displays the user logon and logoff events by analyzing the Windows security logs.This utility can be beneficial to monitor the users' logon activity and detect if anything is amiss.

How do we use WinLogOnView?
  • Run the executable file WinLogOnView.exe.
  • When the file is executed, it displays all the logon sessions recorded on your system.
  • Click on any particular logon session to find more details about it. Apart from the logon/logoff time, you also get other details such as the logon duration, the user name, the workstation, the logon type, the network address.
  • To find the logon activity on a remote computer, go to the Advanced Options window and select the data source as a remote computer and enter the name of the remote computer to find the necessary information.

This tool scans log data from the Event Viewer for the event IDs 4648 ( A logon was attempted using explicit credentials), 4647 (User initiated logoff), 4624 (An account was successfully logged on), 4625 (An account failed to logon), 4800 (The workstation was locked), 4801 (The workstation was unlocked). The details about the events monitored can be saved in formats such as TXT, HTML, CSV, and XML.

This simple tool can help an admin to monitor the logon/logoff activity on a network. It can help in detecting any unusual logon attempt or activity and that might help prevent a cyber attack.
