Trillian, a popular utility used in conjunction with various Instant Messaging like ICQ, AIM, MSN Messenger, etc, stores a User's password utilizing a simple XOR with a key that is uniform throughout every installation. This utility decrypts all related .INI files displaying a list of usernames, "encrypted" passwords, and plain text passwords.

/********************************
* trillian-ini-decrypt
* By The Coeus Group
* http://www.coeus-group.com
********************************
* Software: Trillian 0.73, possibly others.
* Issue: Weak "encryption" of saved passwords.
* Impact: Decryption of saved passwords.
* Severity: Medium. ish. The program only works locally, and only
* if the subject has saved their password, and really
* if someone can get into your AIM account, how earth-
* shattering is that??? However, since a lot of people
* use the same password for everything... What's easier,
* getting the password from Trillian, or Wells Fargo???
********************************
* Trillian is, according to trillian.cc, "...everything you need for instant
* messaging. Connect to ICQ®, AOL Instant Messenger(SM), MSN Messenger, Yahoo!
* Messenger and IRC in a single, sleek and slim interface."
*
* Upon examination of the Trillian directory (which defaults to
* C:\Program Files\Trillian\ ), it appears that passwords are stored in
* ini files that are located in {Path to Trillian}\users\{WindowsLogon}. The
* passwords are encrypted using a simple XOR with a key apparently uniform
* throughout every installation.
*
* This program takes, as command line argument(s), path(s) to these INI files.
* It will then display a list of usernames, "encrypted" passwords, and plaintext
* passwords.
