- EUDPASS -- Eudora Pro/Lite Password Decoder
- by Andrew Prihodko <ap@paco.odessa.ua>
- ===========================================
-
- This is a program that lets you decode the password saved in the
- configuration file of the popular Eudora e-mail program. Eudora will
- save your POP password if you select the corresponding option. Most
- users do so in order to avoid the hassle of typing the password every
- time they want to check mail.
-
-
- The Two Ways to Run EUDPASS
- ---------------------------
- EUDPASS path
-
- "path" specifies the directory where Eudora was installed.
- EUDPASS is particularly interested in the configuration file
- EUDORA.INI. The program will extract all necessary
- information from the configuration file and display the
- results on the screen.
-
- EUDPASS -s encoded_password
-
- "encoded_password" should be replaced by a cryptic string of
- characters from the EUDORA.INI file. You can find it on the
- right of the SavePasswordText entry. This option is
- basically a less convenient form of the previous one.
-
- As of January 5, 1997, EUDPASS works with all available versions of
- Eudora Pro and Light. I also tested it with beta version 3 of Eudora
- Pro 3.0.1 and beta version 4 of Eudora Light 3.0.1. I am not sure if
- Qualcomm will bother to change the encoding algorithm after this
- program becomes public domain, but it'll surely work with millions of
- Eudora copies already downloaded and sold.
-
-
- Why Would Someone Need EUDPASS?
- -------------------------------
- I have seen some people who simply forgot their passwords, since they
- used them only once in Eudora setup process. Of course, the
- situation can be remedied by contacting your system administrator.
- However, that is likely to be inconvenient, because he or she can
- only change the password to a new one. In such cases, EUDPASS can
- help you.
-
- Do not try to use this program to find out other people's passwords.
- Should you decide to do so, you will be FULLY responsible for your
- actions according to the laws of the country you are from. The
- author and site from which you downloaded EUDPASS take no
- responsibility for any unlawful actions you may take.
-
-
- How much does EUDPASS cost?
- ---------------------------
- Nothing. It's free. Isn't this cool? If you do not like it, delete
- the file immediately. When I was little, my mom would always smack
- me for not giving 20 kopecks to a homeless guy. (Well, that was at
- the time when the Soviet Union was still there.) Not that I am trying
- to say that you are homeless. She smacked me just enough to realize
- that giving out some things for free is beneficial for the society as
- a whole. If, despite this agrument, you would like to send me a fat
- check or a nice message, see the "Questions" section below.
