About

This project aims to help you when you have a faulty Firefox/Thunderbird installation or a corrupted filesystem (like in my case) to recover passwords from signons.sqlite and key3.db.
See file pswRecover4Moz.txt for full explanations!

Features

• recover Passwords!!!
• some decryption function integrated (SHA1,DES3-EDE,...)
• minimal ASN.1 parser

Requirements

Software:

• gcc compiler (or other ANSI C/C++ compilers and linkers)
• libnss (optional,automatically installed w/ most of Mozilla products)
• sqlite3 library (libsqlite3.so)

Installation and First Steps

• Clone this repository:
  git clone https://github.com/philsmd/pswRecovery4Moz.git
• Build pswRecovery4Moz:
  cd pswRecovery4Moz gcc pswRecovery4Moz.c -m32 -ldl -o pswRecovery4Moz
• Check help:
  ./pswRecovery4Moz -h
• Use whatever functionality you need (see options and pswRecovery4Moz.txt)

Hacking

• Improve posix compatibility
• Simplify the code
• Performance improvements
• Testing
