This script simply silently runs the most useful password recovery tools from www.nirsoft.net. The password recovery tools from nirsoft.net are highly valuable to anyone that has either forgotten their passwords, or wants to steal someone else's passwords. The list of passwords it can recover is very lengthy, and listed entirely at the bottom of this article. (You should only use these tools on your own computer. Never use them to recover passwords of a computer you don't have permission to do so on.)

A few of the applications this script will recover passwords from are: Chrome, FireFox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Windows Shares/Network, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, GAIM, Outlook, Wireless Passwords, RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol saved passwords), and VNC.

The easiest way to run this script is to place all of the files on the root of a USB flash drive, then simply double click on the NirsoftRecoverAll.bat file. It only takes about 1 - 3 seconds to finish the script and compile a csv file with all the passwords it finds. The main advantage to using this script is speed. Simply plug the flash drive in, double click on the batch file, wait about 5 seconds, then unplug the flash drive. That's it! All the stored passwords are now saved on your flash drive. This speed makes it easy to walk over to your neighbors computer while they are in the restroom, run the script, and analyze the recovered passwords later (but don't ever do that).

To begin, download the password recovery tools from nirsoft. Extract them to the root of the USB flash drive:

Now download our script that silently runs most of the password recovery tools and exports all of the data into a list:

NirsoftRecoverAll.bat

Simply connect the flash drive to the computer that you are trying to recover (or steal) the passwords from and double click on the NirsoftRecoverAll.bat file. It will only take a few seconds, then remove the flash drive. A txt file with the name of the application ran is created for each application. The txt file contains any passwords the application recovered. If you run the script again, these txt files will be overwritten. When you run the script, a file named Master_Password_list.csv is also created. It contains all of the recovered passwords from each of the applications. It also includes the time and date the script was ran. If you run the script again, this file will be appended with the latest results, not overwritten.
