Asterisk Logger v1.03


Asterisk Logger v1.03 - Reveal/recover lost password behind asterisks (***)
Copyright (c) 2003 - 2007 Nir Sofer

Description

Many applications, like CuteFTP, CoffeeCup Free FTP, VNC, IncrediMail, Outlook Express, and others, allows you to type a password for using it in the application. The typed password is not displayed on the screen, and instead of the real password, you see a sequence of asterisk ('****') characters. This utility can reveal the passwords stored behind the asterisks in standard password text-boxes.
Asterisk Logger is a successor of AsterWin utility. It reveals the asterisk passwords in the same way as AsterWin utility, but it has some advantages over the previous utility:
  • You don't have to press a button in order to reveal the asterisk passwords. Whenever a new window containing a password box is opened, Asterisk Logger automatically reveals the password inside the password-box, and add a record to passwords list in the main window of Asterisk Logger.
  • Asterisk Logger displays additional information about the revealed password: The date/time that the password was revealed, the name of the application that contains the revealed password box, and the executable file of the application.
  • Asterisk Logger allows you the save the passwords to HTML file and to 3 types of text files.

Versions History

  • Version 1.03:
    • The configuration is now saved to a file, instead of the Registry.
  • Version 1.02:
    • 'Copy Selected Items' now copies the items as tab-delimited line.
    • New option: Copy the password to the clipboard.
    • Added support for Windows XP style.
  • Version 1.01 - Add support for translation to other languages.
  • Versions 1.00 - First Release.

System Requirements

This utility works properly under Windows 9x, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. If you work on Windows NT, you should download the 'psapi.dll' and place it in your system32 directory. If you don't download this file under Windows NT, the Asterisk Logger utility will properly reveal the asterisk passwords, but it won't display the information about the application that contains the passwords. (Application and Executable File fields)

If you want to reveal a password stored behind asterisks in a Pocket PC device, you may try the PocketAsterisk and RemotePocketAsterisk utilities.
