Filezilla And Pidgin Credentials Recovery Tool

Filezilla and Pidgin is two application i used pretty much a every day,
I like Filezilla since it's simple the best free FTP client i know and Pidgin allow me to use more then just one IM account ate the  same time.

One thing that i don't like about is that they both store the password in plain text, in .xml files.
Specially in C# reading a XML file is very easy and  i will share a snippet later :)


First Filezilla have two file's we want to read from.
%AppData%\FileZilla\recentservers.xml
%AppData%\FileZilla\sitemanager.xml


And Pidgin only have one file where it stores user details.
%AppData%\.purple\Accounts.xml

Will post a snippet later and descripe as good as posssible. 


I would also like to say thanks to SecurityXploded, for there articles and research.
And have a nice day...
