FireMaster - Firefox Master Password Recovery
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY



DETAILS

Firemaster is the Firefox master password recovery tool. Firefox uses
master password to protect the stored sign-on information for various
websites. If the master password is forgotten, then there is no way to
recover the master password and user has to lose all the sign-on
information stored in it. To prevent this problem, Nagareshwar has
developed FireMaster which uses combination of techniques such as
dictionary, hybrid and brute force to recover the master password from the
Firefox key database file.
