i want to use “plink.exe -u username -pw securepassword” on my windows visual c++ program.
will username and password remain safe while calling this command? I mean can a hacker steal or sniff the username and password? (consider hacker can’t get to the password directly from the exe file)
If I had access to plink.exe (presumably running on the local box) then I could replace it with a Trojan version that logged your user/pass – but still otherwise worked as normal. Its potentially a bad idea, but then again, if I have access to the box then all bets are off.
