Hi list!Does anyone know how Yahoo Messenger encrypts it's password? I know it's stored in the "HKCU/Software/Yahoo/Pager/EOptions String" registry key. Can anyone share some thought/code on how to decrypt the pass?
The password decoder YPass.exe uses the yahoo dll (ycrwin32.dll). Anybody knows which functions this program calls?
Regards.
