I don't understand how this can't be used in a bad way somehow...

@wasd591 Actually, I think it would pretty hard to use it for evil due to the fact that you need to change the host name on the ftp client. It's pretty helpful for recovering lost passwords (I've needed it quite a few times)

If you make short videos, you shouldn't speed up the speech or video.

Its sometimes very hard to understand.

Sorry, I talk fast and can't really help myself too much. I'll continue to make an effort to talk more slowly ;-)

forgot to add, then run the ftp silent to get the passwords. I wrote a program to to get all passwords anyway very easily, so this isnt that important.

[DRP996]

Ofc you can add this to a trojan very easily. Just execute the command and collect the output. example: //clientside// //send the command to the server// command_getftppass, ' ' ; //serveside// //recieve the command from the server// //command_getftpass //execute the command in the video// //send the info back to the client in a string// Then have the client process the info. showmessage(edata);

you're not really recovering the password, all you did was made an FTP server cloner based on localhost that would snap the password from the client.

hi there, i recreated this, couldnt really gather what symbol was used on the memo1 add lines part where you did the formatting Username: ?s,apassword: ??.

either way i scrapped the formatting, but does this only work for local host? as anytime i try and do it for my web host ftp nothing comes up?? any replies would be awesome

very helpfull thanks!

[codegearguru]

Yup, you're probably right - but when I worry too much about the content of the videos and try to make them really good and cover the important points, they don't get made - so the really good videos never get to exist. If this makes sense?

[jw200]

Oh sorry, i thought that you speed up your videos when you edit them before uploading.

You mentioned once in your 9-10 min videos, so you had to speed them up to fit in 10 minutes.

But anyway, i like your videos, hopefully you will do more.

Thanks for them.
