In this video i make a simple demonstration of how we can dump a program's memory and then use the strings program to find in memory passwords and other sensitive information. A large number of applications can fall prey to this security vulnerability and get their user's passwords hacked - web browsers, email clients, instant messengers etc fall in this category. The main idea behind the hack is that while the application is running, we should be able to dump its entire memory to file, without having to stop or tamper with the application in any way.
