What methods exist for reading clipboard content programmatically during a penetration test?

Clipboard content can be read via Ctrl+V paste, by using the clipboard viewer `clipbrd.exe`, or by calling APIs like `OpenClipboard` and `GetClipboardData` in a custom program. Attackers may also simulate keyboard input to paste data.
