(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Passwords are stored throughout your computer in different forms, some being within the registry, while others are stored in files on your computer. The following is a list of programs and where their passwords are stored. Included is information on if and how they are encrypted. In a future post I may include information on recovering this data if possible, depending on the source.

Internet Explorer saves passwords in the Windows registry. These passwords are encrypted and the key is based on the website that they are used with to save. The location of these passwords is as follows:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\Storage2

Firefox stores saved passwords in two files. I found these files to be in:
%User%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[xxxxxxx].default
the files to remove are called signons.txt and key3.db. These can be deleted to remove the passwords. On my Windows 7 machine signons had the extension sqlite instead of txt.

Opera saves its passwords in a file called wand.dat.

I do not use Opera, so I have not had time to experiment with this file, however as I understand it, recovering passwords from Internet Explorer and Firefox is trivial. Some cookies store passwords as well, although if they do, passwords in cookies are almost always encrypted. So a future post may cover recovering these if possible.

I'm done for the night mateys I'll post how to hack forums with sql injection to get information such as passwords and admin info and how to crack md5 hashes... :hitman::hitman::hitman:

If you set your browsers browsing data directory to C:\temp it won't save passwords hopefully. + Just change the options to never store passwords.
