### Dependencies

* Windows 10 x64

---

* FileZilla

* Windows Wireless Network

* WinSCP

* Pidgin

* Windows Credential Manager

---

### Build Instructions

* Download Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition.

* Open solution file ("PassCat.sln").

* Choose "Release" option from the dropdown menu in the configuration manager and "x64" Platform.

* Select "Build" -> "Build Solution" from the menu or press the "F6" keyboard shortcut.

* Executable location: "C:\\[path]\[to]\passcat\x64\Release\PassCat.exe"

---

### Usage

* Some passwords such as WiFi credentials can only be retrieved by running PassCat as an administrator, so you have to open two command lines, one as an administrator and another one as a normal user.

* Copy the executable file to a more convenient location and change your current directory to this location.

* Open the "cmd.exe" window and change the current directory. e.g.:

```

cd "C:\[path]\[to]\passcat\x64\Release\"

```

* Execute PassCat

```

.\PassCat.exe

```
