smoky Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Dunno if anyone has covered this idea yet, but has anyone created some code to copy firefox profiles? A friend of mine found an computer which was sharing the whole C drive. He manged to find all of the users passwords in plain text through the computers firefox profiles.. Just a thought..

remkow Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 You won't find the passwords in plaintext, but if you copy key3.db and signons.txt/signons2.txt from the Firefox profile folder (C:Documents and SettingsUsernameApplication DataMozillaFirefoxProfilesabcd123.default), you can easily crack the files and read all saved passwords. Not hard to do at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Twilight Zone Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Backup yours original files and put these files key3.db and signons.txt/signons2.txt from other computer (FF profile) in that folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remkow Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 This will work, but only if your victim hasn't set a master password Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
