Epic Privacy Browser Password Secrets
Epic Privacy browser stores all your website login passwords in the “Login Data” file at following location
[Windows Vista/7/8/10] C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Epic Privacy Browser\User Data\Default\ [Windows XP/2003] C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Epic Privacy Browser\User Data\Default\
This “Login Data” file is stored in SQLite database format. It contains database table called “logins” where each website login details are stored.
Here are some of the interesting fields stored in this table,
origin_url - main link of the website action_url - login link of the website username_element - name of the username field in the website username_value - username used for login password_element - name of the password field in the website password_value - password used for login (encrypted)
Here action_url, username_value and password_value refers to website login link, username and encrypted password respectively.
Epic Privacy browser encrypts the website password using Windows DPAPI (Data Protection API) functions.
These DPAPI functions perform encryption of password using user and machine specific data. As a result encrypted password cannot be decrypted by another user or another computer.
Hence Epic Privacy Browser password recovery has to be performed on the same computer as same user.

void DecryptPassword(char *passData, int passLen, char *password, int length)
{
DATA_BLOB DataPassword;
DATA_BLOB DataOutput;
DataPassword.cbData = passLen;
DataPassword.pbData = (BYTE *) passData;
if( CryptUnprotectData(&DataPassword, NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0, &DataOutput) == FALSE )
{
printf("CryptUnprotectData failed with error 0x%.8x", GetLastError());
return;
}
memcpy(password, DataOutput.pbData, DataOutput.cbData);
password[DataOutput.cbData] = 0;
printf("Successfully Decrypted Password is %s ", password);
}
