No offense intended to John, but I advise using extreme caution when getting any software like this unless it comes with source code that you can review, modify, and compile yourself. If all you're getting is an executable, the tool could potentially be storing up usernames and passwords (and other information!) to send to the author the next time you happen to be connected to the net...

Call me paranoid, but I don't want my HR or financials databases compromised.
