GeGeek Infected files.Warning!

[nlinecomputers]

I whipped out my trusted GeGeek Toolkit to use at a client's site and promptly infected the system I was working on.

After investigation I discovered that MailPasswordDecryptor has bundled in with it the rather nasty bogusware Comodo Geekbuddy toolkit. Comodo use to be a legitimate company but now they are making more and more bogus products.

Michael at GeGeek found other programs from the same author also bundled with it and has sent out this warning.

============================================


SecurityXploded Tools Infected!!!

Malware Warning
SecurityXploded Tools infected!!!
Please do not use the following tools contained within the Toolkit,
as they are very possibly infected:

Remove – Do Not Use - Listed under Forensics
MailPasswordDecryptor,
RouterPasswordKracker,
PDF Password Remover
WiFiPasswordDecryptor

All four tools are from SecurityXploded

I have removed them from the toolkit and it will be reflected in the next update.
I apologize that my system didn't catch them before distribution.I will check
into this more thoroughly, but for now, just to be safe, please do not use!
I will push a new update out this weekend.

Thanks to Nate W. for bringing it to my attention.

Yikes! Thanks for the warning!

In the interim, instead of MailPasswordDecrypter and WiFiPasswordDecryptor, try MailPassView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/mailpv.html) and WirelessKeyView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_key.html) from NirSoft.

(WirelessKeyView is especially handy as it also allows backing up and restoring all wireless definitions.)

Well I had tried the Nirsoft one but it didn't work on an exchange password so that is why I was trying the other one.

Haven't yet had a need to run MailPassView with an Exchange customer, so didn't know it didn't work. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I don't know if it does or not. With the infection that can sidelined. And I'm not going to use a product that stealth loads another program on the system.

++Rep nLine, I was actually using Nirsoft the day before yesterday.
