Original GTalk Password Recovery description:
Google Talk Password Recovery is a utility for finding and decrypting Google Talk, GMail and Picasa passwords that are stored on your computer with a click of a button! This password decoder works when “Remember Password” checkbox is ticked in GTalk instant messenger. Passwords from multiple profiles can be recovered, all versions of Google Talk are supported. This password decoder will also find a saved password from Gmail Notifier & Picasa. Google services passwords from Firefox and Internet Explorer are recovered too. This is possibly the best password decrypter for Google passwords that you can find on the internet!

We’ve gotten our hands onto the leaked version of Windows Live Messenger 9.0 Beta today. It was nice to know that the algorithm for storing Windows Live passwords is the same as in the latest official version (Windows Live Messenger 8.5) hence we can confirm that our Windows Live Password Recovery tool can decode passwords stored by Windows Live Messenger Version 2009 (9.0.1407.1107).

AIM is by far the most popular IM on the market with 53 million active users. Many people tend to keep their password saved on the AIM so that they don’t have to type it in every time they switch on their PC. Once they enter it, they never have to use it again until they want to move their AIM account to another PC. Just at this time they realise that they have forgotten what their AIM password is.

You could reset your forgotten password through the official AOL password reset page unless of course you don’t have access anymore to your email you used to register your AIM screenname or the date of birth you entered was wrong.
There is still a chance if that “unless” scenario is true:

Previous versions of AIM stored passwords in the hash form (not possible to decrypt). The latest generation of AIM (version 6) stores passwords in the decryptable form.
A tool that recovers forgotten AOL Instant Messenger Passwords is called AIM Password Recovery

This is likely to be the first tool to be able to recover passwords from the latest AIM since version 4.8.

AOL released the new version of the most popular instant messenger in the world - AIM 6.5.4.16. The password encryption algorithms embedded in the version 6.5.4.16 are the same as in the previous versions.

AIM Password Recovery is confirmed to work with the latest version 6.5.4.16.

Ever wondered how people get to these beautiful locations that you stumble upon in Panoramio (Google Earth)? For sure there will be no clues in your local travel guide!

I discovered a nice way to find out the way to your exotic and exclusive paradise - just leave a simple comment on the photo page on Panoramio website: “Wow! This is beatiful! How do I get there?”

The author of the photo will love to know that someone else was inspired by his work and will be more than happy to share the directions on how to get there.

Just an example of the directions that someone shared with me recently on Panoramio:

“Fly over to xxx town; go to the office on street yyy to get the permission to visit your island (you need it because it’s a border zone); talk to the guy called zzz if you face problems when getting a permission; wait for a week to get a boat to that island; walk 4 kilometres west from the port to reach that volcano.”

You won’t find this kind of stuff in the travel guide. Enjoy!

We have just installed the latest beta of AIM (6.5.3.12) to test whether the passwords saved by this beta can be recovered using our AIM Password Recovery tool.
I am very happy to confirm that the latest beta is also supported by AIM Password Recovery and the passwords can indeed be recovered.

Let us know if it does not work for you.

Today we wanted to see if we can add support for LAIM (AIM Lite) to our new AIM Password Recovery tool but stumbled upon the same issue as we did with AIM 4.8-5.x passwords. Currently, the recovery for LAIM is not possible because password hashes are stored on the local system. As I have explained earlier about password encryption in Skype hashes are non-reversible.

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\LAIM\screen_name.txt has the following string:

aimcc.connect.host.passwordHash=hashed-aim-password

This is the exact location where the hashed AIM password is stored.
Things might change in the future and we constantly monitor AOL resources to get the fresh info asap but for now the LAIM password recovery is not possible.

Few days earlier we’ve installed a great tool called Google Analytics. This will not only allow us to look at our stats in a different (and nicer) way, but will also give us a chance to see how well the visitors are guided though the site, why they come to us, where they come from, why they leave the website and where they leave the website. Although this tool does not analyse the website logfiles (instead, there is a javascript tracker, called Urchin tracker, installed on every page), the overall approach to the analysis of the browsing patterns is revolutionary and is unique from any other analysis tool on the web.

We’ll keep you posted on the results once we gather sufficient amount of data to be able to make good conclusions.
