Added: 01/09/2009

Background

This tool attempts to retrieve web site passwords which have been stored by Internet Explorer.

Limitations

A connection to the target is required to run this tool.

Due to the encryption algorithm used by Internet Explorer, this tool can only retrieve passwords which were entered by the same user that is running the tool.

For Internet Explorer 7, due to the encryption algorithm, this tool can only retrieve passwords for web sites which are still present in the browser's history.

For Internet Explorer 7, passwords can only be retrieved if AutoComplete is enabled and the user chose "yes" when prompted to save each one.
