Today my MSN account was hacked and my password and secret question changed so I cannot access anything from my old account. Is there any way of finding out my contacts from the MsgPlus fields stored in the registry. I really need to know my contact list from my hacked account and don't know of a way to get it RE: Contact List info by Xero_Cool on 12-09-2004 at 11:06 PM
All I can tell you is: RE: Contact List info by CookieRevised on 12-10-2004 at 12:10 AM
quote:no. The contact emailaddresses are stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\<your_sign_in_email>\Contacts But they are all encrypted to an hash. Which is a one way encryption and thus can not be decrypted. If you're lucky you had made all your contacts as a "floating" contact on your desktop, ni that case they are saved un-encrypted here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\<your_sign_in_email>\Contacts\CtcDetach That's all you can find regarding emailaddresses in the registry...

unfortunately I turned logs off and didn't have any of my contacts as floating RE: Contact List info by user27089 on 12-10-2004 at 08:13 AM

no I didn't save it, it is a shared PC RE: Contact List info by CookieRevised on 12-11-2004 at 04:32 AM
There is a chance, but you need some small effort to grab it it all (and some small knowledge of the registry and how to extract things)... RE: Contact List info by grant_w on 12-11-2004 at 09:38 AM
unfortunately that registry setting wasn't there, I use win98 |
