Online Filezilla Password Recovery

Javascript

If you are a frequent user of FileZilla and use it for accessing remote FTP servers, you may have saved your credentials once for all in its “Sites manager”.
But what if you don’t remember your password?

Well, you’re in luck, since its encryption is weak and can be hacked quite easily, in these two steps:

  1. First, find the XML file in which credentials are stored (C:\Program Files\FileZilla\FileZilla.xml) and copy the “Pass” value of the forgotten account
  2. Paste it in the below input field, then click on the “Recover” button

Your original password will be revealed instantly!

Thanks to Graham Nott for his post on this specific subject. His approach in dealing with the decryption part was server-side, but I prefered doing it client-side, with Javascript, for the sake of my hosting provider!

    Aw, this was a really great post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.

    I would like to start off by stating, thank you for providing me with the information I’ve been looking for. I have been surfing the internet for three hours looking for it and would have given my right arm if I would have located your site sooner. Not only did I locate what I was searching for, but found answers to questions I never even thought to ask. Thank you for such a wonderful web-site!
