Hmm.... Don't use yahoo messenger and don't know - how long is the password hash ; most likely it is a hash if it is actually stored in the reg. you'll probably have to do a brute force + comparison. -amin -----Original Message----- From: Masroor Ehsan [mailto:ophelia () proshikanet-ctg com] Sent: Saturday, May 08, 2004 11:07 AM To: security-basics () lists securityfocus com Subject: How to decode Yahoo Messenger saved password? Hi list! Does anyone know how Yahoo Messenger encrypts it's password? I know it's stored in the "HKCU/Software/Yahoo/Pager/EOptions String" registry key. Can anyone share some thought/code on how to decrypt the pass? The password decoder YPass.exe uses the yahoo dll (ycrwin32.dll). Anybody knows which functions this program calls?
