Just to exploit one little security problem with XPFixation, I have created the XPFixation Exploit program.
IT just demonstrates one small problem... it's a 1.34 MB file, so you may have to be patient if you are on a dial up connection speed. Also, please note that this program is 100% safe... run it with a virus scanner, firewall, and anything else you can think of!
My main point being, that some kind of encryption scheme or anything to improve security should be implemented...
Update: I have now thrown together a perl script that does the same thing, plus gives you the option of deleting the XPFixation info from your computer. Here it is:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Win32::TieRegistry;
$Registry->{"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\XPFixation"}
or die "XPFixation is not configured on this machine.\n";
(my $user = $Registry->{"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\XPFixation\\User
+name"} and
my $pass = $Registry->{"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\XPFixation\\Pas
+sword"})
or die "The XPFixation configuration has been tampered with.\n" .
"Cannot display account information.\n";
print qq|
The configuration for XPFixation has been found on your machine.

} else {
die "Your PerlMonks account information has NOT been removed.\n";
}
