WinMX Plaintext Password Vulnerabilities	June 02, 2022
WinMX 2.6 is an older version of the popular file sharing client WinMX. While the current version is 3.31, 2.6 still remains quite popular. Especially amongst users on private networks. I believe this is largely due to the fact that 2.6 does not have the option to output .wsx file (WinMX server list files) This helps keep the addresses for private OpenNap servers out of the hands of uninvited users (amongst other reasons). The problems with WinMX 2.6 is that it provides pretty much NO password protection. This can be exploited both locally and remotely. Again, I think all of us have seen the bad habit that most people have of using the same password for multiple accounts etc etc.

IISamDiscover And IISamCrack Now Available	May 02, 2022
Recently I noticed that the Microsoft IIS Accounts Manager could be used to verify accounts much like the VRFY and EXPN commands with sendmail. Turns out that David Lichtfield discovered this vuln years earlier, but I don't think it was ever an official BID until I posted the issue to BugTraq. Anyway, below is a link to the example code that I wrote. The versions posted at BugTraq are the same, but the formatting got completely trashed. IISamCrack attempts to enumerate weak passwords using a dictionary style attck on the Microsoft IIS Accounts Manager. IISamDiscover uses the Accounts Manager User Existence Disclosure Vulnerability to confirm or deny the exsistance of a user on the machine using a list of probable usernames.

Invision Board Plaintext Password Vulnerability	April 25, 2022
Invision Board has been stores restricted forum credentials as plain text embedded in cookie data. These are the forums where you need a password to get access into the forum. If the Invision Board admin 'pass protected' option is activated for a specific forum, on attempted access to the controlled area, the restricted forum password is stored as plaintext in a local cookie. This is dangerous because if an attacker can steal the legit users cookie via cross site scripting or some other method, then they can gain access to the restricted forum(s). This vulnerability affects all versions of Invision Power Board. Users should under no circumstances disclose any sensitive or personal information on these "restricted" forums, as they are not secure and prone to attack.
