after recon we should try to find any files containing clear text password

now let’s begin

dir /b /a /s c:\\ > cdirs.txt

this command is responsible to list all the files in the C drive

Untitled

as we can see we got the file containing every file in the C drive

now let’s search in those files

type cdirs.txt | findstr /i passw

this command will search all the files in the cdirs.txt and search for the pattern passw

Untitled

now look at this

Untitled

as we see we found intresting file so let’s reveal it’s content

type c:\\Users\\IEUser\\Documents\\passwords.txt

Untitled

as we are lucky enough to get the username and the password

Note: when you search for the pattern passw keep in mind that there are another language out there not just the English's language which make sense to translate the word password or passw to the equivalate of the other language and search for it
