You can do this on linux too, it just isn't very useful for privilege escalation because you already need root to do it.

I ironically use it on Windows. What’s the alternative? Firefox: kinda crap. Chrome: Same thing, but Google (even worse for harvesting data).

>>108755894
well you realize that there are numerous offshoots of chromium and firefox that try to resolve some of these. of course they’re still often bloated anyway but better than nothing

Who in the fuck would be using edge on the first place?

Corporations and public organizations.
This is why you're advised not to use your work PC to access private anything.
The trouble with this news is that it demonstrates how lazy or retarded or both the pajeets are.
And it's not even just them, really any non-white will have the same problem. Don't even get me started on what a chink situation would look like. If you were anywhere online during the live leak era of chink lemmings dying of the most obvious retardation imaginable then you could imagine the shit show a chink take over of critical information technology would look like.

>>108756235
shared work computers have this problem
guess you’d have to work to know that
good thing I don’t give a shit about any of my work passwords at work
>>
>>108756311
What happens when the admin uses your credentials to access compartmentalized sensitive information?
How are you going to call for an audit against them to prove you didn't access said info?
>>
>>108755353
Why would you have private passwords saved to chrome on a shared computer?
>>
>>108755630
I use it every day at my job at microsoft
>>
>>108756328
So there's sci that only i know and maintain such that you don't need to audit anything to know it was me who leaked it? If only I can leak it then no one else knows what it was to leak, and so they can't know I'm the leaker. They'd have to audit the access logs to see that it wasn't my terminal but the admin. Retard
>>
>>108756328
it’s not sensitive. it’s a shit ton of logins to third party medical research systems that doesn’t mean shit to anyone. nobody cares that I received vial number 836-890 on Tuesday at 10 AM. but they sure as fucking he’ll want me to change my password every couple of weeks. there’s no fucking way I’m dealing with this shit without the browser password manager for the browser they force me to use anyway.

I'm a software engineer and we have the freedom to just use another browser. Of course I never use edge if I don't have to.
Yet my colleague uses edge (without an adblocker) and when I exclaim my disgust when looking at his screen full of ads he simply goes "company wants me to use edge so I use edge", simply because it was preinstalled.
Boggles the mind.

I have never ever trusted browser password managers given how NirSoft has tools for extracting them from Firefox, Chrome and every major web browser, and whenever you read about data grabbing malware it always takes the browser passwords like it's candy. Microsoft isn't unique in this fuck-up, the entire browser industry is guilty of this. I wouldn't be surprised if this non-issue at it's core is Google's fault, but in 2026 we need a daily serving on Microsoft hate for people to feel alive apparently.

Just use KeePass for local passwords. I did since forever and never had to worry about this.

Oh by the eay very important if you post here, otherwise your posts are logged, via your cloud connected spellchecker.

>An attacker with admin rights
Lmao. Yeah, you can do a lot of dangerous shit if you have admin access, like disabling various security features and installing a rootkit.
>>
>>108756857
For every security researcher finding real bugs there are 100 researchers discovering how, if you have admin access and are in the room with an oscilloscope, and the user types their password 1000 times in a row, and then runs three programs you told them to run, and it's Tuesday during the harvest moon, you can whittle down the time to crack aes from 10 million years to 3 million.

>>108756910
all browsers spy on you via cloud spelleckers, completely bypasses AES, chromes is titled 'enhanced spellchecker' and sends it straight to google

you know somone is a tech illiterate jeet projecting when they shout esl for typos they use shit like grammerly on the anlgosphere web (civilisation) and it logs everything they type

and you can bet that everything you type with a cloud or AI cloud spellvhecker on winds up with palintir, who then provide their services for screening. Don't expect me to explain this here again.

Oh there are massivbe holes out there anon, linux is riddled with hem as is every open source codebase but he were all checked in quite delibrately by state and threat groups with in some cases whole teams working on them. I( haver posted here about the race condition exploits throughout the linux kernel and got sneered at and then antropic came out later and said they had found a few, there are at least 15 major ones. I find infosec 'researches' especially achademics smugly installing crap like kali to be breatakingly stupid. I'm not sayng windows 11 is better far from it. It is all slop. However you can certainly make your situation far more roibust using the right tools and settings, e.g pic
>>
>>108756857
>so....me?
Only once you have explicitly elevated to full admin privileges (Accepting a UAC prompt). In windows the admin user is just a standard user for the most part.
>>
>>108756985
look they were refering to a terminal server admin snooping, read the article. Most linux users sudo constantly pulling all maner of slop from repositories. If you make it to contolling check ins on any major open source distro you are under the thumb and working for voluntarily or involuntarily a state actor (or three). Now you know why so many are troons or pedo furry orientated
>>
>>108756982
Yeah, as I said there are legit researchers, and then there are people scraping the barrel trying to stay relevant. Look at the proceedings of crypto conferences and you will see what I mean. There is some legit stuff, and then there are people who spent years discovering how to slightly improve upon a cracking of a toy crypto system no one has ever used

if its onlline assume it's compromised or ready to beacon you are not smarter than gchq, the nsa or the pla and this battle was lost a long time ago.
>>
>>108757003
From the demonstration, it's certainly running as an administrator command prompt, so the user has voluntarily elevated privileges before even running.

I don't find this attack that interesting, it's like discovering the the decryption key for FDE is also stored in the RAM.

Virtually all srrous expoloits are deliberately checked in and based on multiple steps to trigger race consitions. They are extremely difficult to spot in checked in code because of this. ANYTHING that can be connected to an IP stack is already compromised virtually universally. There are some (rare) exceptions but they are my private knowlege an not for sharing. If there was a serious conflict between China and the US huge numbers of systems would be screwed like lighbulbs on both sides within hours.

I'm perfectly correct. Sorry you don't like the truth and are letting your ego get in the way. How did you enjoy opdarknet. There is always a way and 99/9% of systems have 20+ exploits in them placed there quite deliberately by different actors. .

You need to set a master password on Firefox password manager to make it secure. I have no idea why this isn't mandatory or at least the default.
>NirSoft has tools for extracting them from Firefox
Only if you give it the Master password lol.

I unironically do, but only on Android. It's the only maintained browser with full extension support while also having a working UI (firefox couldn't figure this out even after an entire decade).
I try to minimize contact with its """"features"""" but there's only so much you can do when they fucked with even the UI itself.
>>

>They have the best vertical tab implementation.
Sadly, I concur. Chrome and Brave is shitty, and while Firefox has superior nested tabs, moving them around is extremely clunky.
>>
>>108755353
If any browser process can already access the plaintext password then wouldn't a sandbox escape all it needs for a webpage to steal passwords?

I like the dictation feature in Edge. It was great for long articles or proof reading long posts.

I have it installed on macOS for this reason.
