I've been developing windows utilities now for over a month and is currently working on a utility to retrieve all stored passwords on a windows machine(particularly, WinXP/Win2000).
I've now located the place where windows stores its passwords, but the passwords are encrypted, in something encryption method called "hash MD5 or MD4" does anyone know anything about this encryption and whether there is support for it in Delphi 7/C++ builder? Of course i need to convert the "hashed " passwords back to plain text, would that be poss?
I am aware that there are similar utilities available on the internet, but i need to create ones that meet the specific needs of my work.
Thanks
PS: If this is not the right forum for this, please let me know which is.
