Hi,

Its a nice tool but can be used by malicious people for spying someone else's personal information and that is bad. One of its feature of revelation of passwords mar the idea of having passwords. This tool poses to be a double-edged sword, whose usage depends upon the intentions of the user.

So lets strive to use it for the betterment of IT security community and not for intruding into others secrets.

Thanx & Regards,

Gajanan S Pandit
