I searched for an old thread today and found it but could not reply to it because it's too old. This is just to affirm that this utility still works in Vista. I used it today to grab someone's email password from the Windows Mail program. (only person who knew it was away overseas and we needed to log onto the ISP's webmail interface to adjust the junk send settings)Yes their McCrappy antivirus software flagged it as malicious. Yes their McCrappy firewall software said it was trying to find the Internet (but I don't accept that to be true.. what I hate about application filtering firewall software is that it interferes with internal communications between apps also. It may appear to be a network request but that's not really anyone's business but the app and subsystems it's communicating with)
FWIW: The latest version of SIW exe reveals the passwords from my email accounts from Outlook Express. (In XP don't know about Vista). Paul Pavlik
. and yeah. I tried SIW once to try to get some specific information from my PCI bus but alas.. nothing useful (at least not to me). As a curiosity I tried the secrets thing and it didn't reveal any passwords for me either. I was generally not impressed with that program.
I have no idea what topdesk is. There are several software products of that name (e g window switching software) and I can't find any info on the one at the snadboy site. There's nothing but an exe inside the zip file too.
Incidentally. I was looking for something the other day and stumbled on Password Sniffer. I don't know if it does the same thing as what you found - but it sure looks promising.
Grogan... BoClean flags this program as a trojan and ordain not let it run???? Is it safe?
Vista Ultimate,AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Windsor,ASUS M2N-E Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultra MCP,CORSAIR XMS2 2GB. SAPPHIRE 100142L Radeon X1300 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card,LITE-ON DVD
Everything will probably flag that as a trojan because it's a known "password cracking" program. Did you read the original thread and what I said about McAfee? As far as I know it's safe but I can't guarantee anything. (even the most innocuous seeming program could copulate something up in Windows and software comes with no warranty whatsoever.)Judge how important it is to reveal a password. I wouldn't install it for no reason and since it will play Hell with antivirus software. I would uninstall it when finished with it.
Nirsoft also has various password utilities:"Password Recovery Tools"Mail PassView should work with Windows Mail:"Mail PassView v1.40 - Recover lost mail passwords"
