by IExplore comes with a "nice" feature called AutoComplete, which
stores typed URLs inside forms, search words, passwords, credit card
numbers and so on in the registry.
No need to say how "nice" is this when you are at a *cafe or
when you share your computer with anyone. :-(
Monitoring registry changes shows as that those values are stored
under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage Systems
Provider
The values are stored at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage Systems
Provider\YourComputerName\Data
The words are stored Item Data binary values and are ciphered.
So the question is, has anybody found or is willing to find or
does know the algorithm used to cipher them? Further, has anyone found
the way to break it?
What kind of crypto-algorithms are typical for Microsoft to use,
apart from propietary (bad)ones such as the flamed PPTP?
