sites.dat relativly unsecure?!

I have also seen FlahFXP "helper applications" that actually transfer your sites and passwords to a third party server. Basically they steal your accounts. You'll want to avoid "helpful" programs like this as well.

can you go "in medias res" please and / or prove your statement? as long as its crypted as mentioned above from hetfield, and if there is no "master key" to decrpyt it, what shall happen? and normally a good firewall will give me a message if some application would send my "sites.dat" to some third-party-server. moreover i dont think / hope that ffxp itself will send my sites.dat to their own server. but that discussion is already done, i guess.

there were a few password decrypting apps for flashfxp that would steal your sites.dat.
but any good antivirus now should detect them.

this decrypting tools can also decrypt a sites.dat that uses "the application protection" where Hetfield was talking about?

no. they were designed for regular "scrambled" passwords. not encrypted sites.dat
