BulletsPassView

BulletsPassView is a password recovery tool that reveals the passwords stored behind the bullets in the standard passwordtext-box of Windows operating system and Internet Explorer Web browser. After revealing the passwords, you can easily copy them to the clipboard or

save them into text/html/csv/xml file.

BulletsPassView is the successor of the old ‘Asterisk Logger’ utility, with some advantages over the older tool:

• BulletsPassView doesn’t reveal the password inside the password text-box itself. The password is only displayed in the main window of BulletsPassView, while the password text-box continues to display bullets.
• BulletsPassView also supports Windows 7/Vista/2008, while Asterisk Logger failed to work in these new operating systems.
• BulletsPassView also reveals the passwords stored in the password text-box of Internet Explorer.
• BulletsPassView supports command-line options to save the current opened password boxes into text/html/csv/xml file.
• BulletsPassView is a unicode application, which insures that passwords with non-English characters will be extracted properly.

This utility works on any version of Windows, starting from Windows 2000 and up to Windows 7/2008. If you want to extract passwords from x64 application, you have to use the x64 version of BulletsPassView.
