Elcomsoft Password Digger

Elcomsoft Password Digger is a simple application dedicated to Windows computers, which can be used to decrypt login.keychain files taken from Mac OS systems. This way, you can extract user keychains, the system keychain, as well as passwords.

The system key chain includes wireless network passwords while the user keychain can be explored to find and retrieve keys to your Apple ID, iTunes backups, AirPort and TimeCapsule, websites and accounts, VPN, RDP, FTP and SHH clients, email accounts (including Gmail and Microsoft Exchange), network shares, and iWork documents.

Following a speedy setup procedure that shouldn't give you any trouble, you're welcomed by a user-friendly interface made from a clear-cut window that has an elegant appearance.

You can get started by indicating the user keychain file that will be used for extracting all the necessary information. Just keep in mind that it must have the exact file name and extension ("login.keychain") or it will not be recognized by the program.

Once you click the "Extract" button, Elcomsoft Password Digger performs the file analysis and reveals a brief report with the number of total user chains, the system chain and passwords processed.

The passwords can be saved as a plain text document or XML file by pointing out the file name and extension, after which you can open the file and view the unmasked keys.

You can inspect a journal with all recorded activities, set the preferred logging level, ask the tool to ignore non-password information in the XML reports and to not save passwords longer than 32 symbols, as well as change the UI language.

All aspects considered, Elcomsoft Password Digger delivers a simple and straightforward solution for extracting passwords from login.keychain files of Mac OS systems on Windows computers. It can be easily used by anyone.
