    Hi everybody!

    It is about current Defenseall HIPS development process- I need to know where AIM, Google Talk, MySpace IM, Windows Live Mail/Writer and some other software stores user's passwords. The more applications the better.

    I believe Opera is:

    C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile\wand.dat

    You could contact the author of MessenPass and ask where the passwords are stored (for AIM, Google Talk, MySpace IM).

    Hello,
    I suggest you install each one and monitor with regmon, filemon and processexplorer to see the full inheritance trees. All of the apps are Mark Rusinovich's sysinternals.
