Hello Guys Today i am going to Explain the very basic things that you must know If you Want to become a Hacker or you are a Hacker (whatever be). In this Tutorial I will Explain you "Locations where the passwords are Saved in 
Windows Operating System". Various readers of my blog asked me about where the passwords really stored in windows. So today I am going to Explain this where the password really stores...So Read on...







This Tutorial is Program Oriented Means Different Locations for Different Softwares and window components...

First of all You Need to Know that Most Of the Passwords are stored in Registry . So you Must Know How to access Registry ... Also In Most of cases passwords are Encrypted so to decrypt you can google it for its decrypter....
Note: Windows Profile Means C:/Document and Settings/(user account)/application data

HOW TO ACCESS REGISTRY ??


1. Goto Start Menu.





2. Click on Run.
3. Type "regedit" (without quotes) in the Run Box .After that this Windows Opens . Now you are ready to see that.






LOCATIONS OF SAVED PASSWORDS !

# Internet Explorer 4.00 - 6.00: 

The passwords are stored in a secret location in the Registry known as the "Protected Storage".
The base key of the Protected Storage is located under the following key:

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider".

You can browse the above key in the Registry Editor (RegEdit), but you won't be able to watch the passwords, because they are encrypted.

Also, this key cannot easily moved from one computer to another, like you do with regular Registry keys.

Internet Explorer 7.00 - 8.00

The new versions of Internet Explorer stores the passwords in 2 different locations.
1. AutoComplete passwords are stored in the Registry under


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\Storage2.



2. HTTP Authentication passwords are stored in the Credentials file under

Documents and Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Credentials 



, together with login passwords of LAN computers and other passwords.

  13. I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your blog?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so
    people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for
    only having 1 or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

  19. Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog
    platform are you using for this site? I'm getting
    sick and tired of Wordpress because I've had problems with
    hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform.
    I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
