Summary: etherXXXX* file
Product: Wireshark
Version: 1.0.8
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Windows 2000
Status: NEW
Severity: Major
Priority: High
Component: Wireshark
AssignedTo: wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: gedropi@xxxxxxxxx
Build Information:

--
Upon starting a capture, an etherXXXX* file is created in the Temp directory.
In hex this file contains the Windows login and password AND the ISP login and
password , machine name - among other things. This information should NEVER be
captured anywhere. That is the stuff of criminals. The ISP login, for
instance, should go only to the ISP. What are you doing with our private
information? Please do not tell me developers that develop sw that captures
such private information would then do nothing with it. I realize also that
your app is calling home as well. I am having serious trust issues.
Please have some respect for us average joes.
