Review LSASecretsView
LSASecretsView is a program that allows you to view in a log all the essential information, such as passwords, and users, among other things, that have already been saved. This is a simple program that allows you to view your LSA secrets. And what are these?
This is a simple program that allows you to view your LSA secrets. And what are these?
This record contains all the Local Security Authority information, meaning the Local Secure Authority. This information includes user authentications, passwords, and essential and private local information. It also contains login users to the Internet.
The nice thing about this program is that it allows you to view the passwords stored in LSA. And there is a lot of vital information stored here.
There isn't much to say about this program. But it is helpful to know how vulnerable the Windows system is.
As for the competencies, I don't know other programs that do this. But at the level of functionality, it does not serve you much. You can visualize the information stored in the LSA section on old Windows systems, but you can't do anything. I agree that raising people's awareness through this program is good, but I don't think it does any good.
You can generate awareness, but if you don't teach how to prevent possible attacks that can get to the information, what's the point of raising awareness? It would be best if you trained in some way that the program is already in charge of stopping the attacks on this memory section.
And let's add that this program is obsolete for most updated Windows.
The program accesses the LSA, where all this sacred information is, and allows you to view it.
The program has a lot of compatibility with different Windows systems. Windows 2000, XP, 2003, 2008, 2008, Vista, 7, 8, and 10 are supported. So, if you have Windows, this program is probably compatible with your computer.
One advantage of the program is that it is free to download.
As for the user interface, it is a somewhat outdated one, considering that the latest version was released in 2016. In addition, it adds that applications that have to run on Windows never had their focus on the user interface.
NirSoft developed the program. At present, it would appear to be a dormant company. The site is outdated, and all the programs are years old.
But what matters is that the program works.
And at least on my updated Windows, it did not work or is not developed for novices to understand.
I have learned quite a bit about what information it can display, and after a while of research, I have found that the Windows of now do not store all that information that used to be stored in LSA.
And is that, with the number of cyber attacks by hackers, there could not be a store of users and passwords. If they could access your system, they could automatically access all your registered users in LSA; it was just too vulnerable now.
They use encrypted systems that are more difficult to access—point for Windows to store the information.
But then Windows is still using this system? The truth is that it is not clear because, with the systems updates, everything has been changing very dynamically. Then there is old documentation that says a sure thing and new that is corrected, but if you have the last two Windows since 8, it is certain that your system no longer uses the old LSA system to store information.
But since the program is free, you will have no problem testing it on your computer. The program is safe and has been tested over time. Considering that the latest version was released in 2016, there has already been a time when the program could be proven malicious.
Conclusion:
If you have one of the last two Windows, you are risk-free. So you won't need this to check that these programs are not displayed. But if you have an older Windows, you may be able to use this program.
It is more than everything to generate conscience in the risk that you run with the old Windows, added that you have fewer ways to protect yourself from cyber-attacks.
But this program will be completely obsolete if you have a new Windows.
In addition, it is a program for experts in the field. The information is not simply presented to you; the user interface is lousy and outdated.
