I Found a feature in Firefox

Preferences>security>saved passwords>display passwords>yes. tada

or is it me ?

is there a fix for that ?

yes there is a fix : tick "use a general password".

now that i've written this post…

*posts new topic*

seriously, why is this not a default feature ? they could use the user's password. what a bunch of cunts. or is it me ?

cool video bro, but is the "vulnerability" I described the default setting ?

I use chrome and never save passwords, soo..

Yes it's default. Yes it's insecure. But storing passwords in your browser is unsafe anyway.

yes i know (and i mean from experience). But stealing protected saved passwords requires hacking tools(and a hacker to use them), whereas stealing unprotected passwords only requires firefox (ie anyone). And since my main concern is relatives invading my privacy(ie people who don't even know how to use a CLI), that should make it.

chrome dude

i watched it all then i watched it again with my finger in my butt

Chrome saves em, but doesnt show them.

If someone has access to your computer and know anything about computers, youre boned anyway.

chrome shows them too if you tell it to

This is open source Chrome with every benefit, and without the privacy concerns of Google:

not at all. Today i learnt a quick, easy hack. Available as a default feature on every modern computer that sports firefox. imagine doing this kind of shit in a webcafé. I guess you'd get quite a lot of passwords.

edit: $ $ $

*steals babar's passwords*

just like the white house about the previous wikileaks release

"Give us back the documents that you have stolen" !

and yes, i'm a paranoid fuck. thank you for your attention bye.

The trick is to just go on your significant other's computer and type adultfriendfinder.com and see what happens.

But I doubt a webcafe would have the password remember feature available. It probably deletes all private data when you close out, and it probably locks down the settings for firefox.

you're kidding. When my best mate was still in paris (and too lazy to subscribe to an ISP), i tried hacking a wifi network with no success (we were too far). So i went down the street and entered a webcafé. i booted on a backtrack live-cd and started my shady operations. The manager asked me what i was doing. I told him i was doing an assignment for my computer class. "OK, that's cool, but asked before doing such a thing next time".

That's such bad security, might as well give you the root password. I'm surprised they didn't have a password protected bios with external media booting disabled.

the guy was an old arab. I used to know another one (very funny guy), a young one. One night, a friend and I were waiting for him. At one point my mate receives a text from "Orange Info Service" saying

"yo guys, i'll be a bit late. I'm here in 10 minutes"

wake up babar...
