FireMaster

FireMaster is the first ever built tool to recover the lost master password in Firefox. Master password is used by Firefox to protect the stored sign-on information for all visited websites.

If the master password is forgotten, then there is no way to recover the master password and user will lose all the sign-on information stored in it. However user can now use FireMaster to get back all their stored credentials.

FireMaster uses combination of state of art techniques such as dictionary, hybrid and brute force to recover the master password from the Firefox key database file. FireMaster also supports pattern based password recovery mechanisms which reduces the time taken to recover your password.

Dictionary Method:
- In this mode, FireMaster uses dictionary file having each word on separate line to perform the operation. You can find lot of online dictionary with different sizes and pass it on to Firemaster. This method is more quicker and can find out common passwords.

Hybrid Method:
- This is advanced dictionary method, in which each word in the dictionary file is prefixed or suffixed with generated word from known character list. This can find out password like pass123, 12test, test34 etc. From the specified character list (such as 123), all combinations of strings are generated and appended or prefixed to the dictionary word based on user settings.

Brute Force Method:
- In this method, all possible combinations of words from given character list is generated and then subjected to cracking process. This may take long time depending upon the number of characters and position count specified.
