First:
I first log onto Windows machine
I log onto my Isp
I log into my proxy
Maybe do a few things online (eg. go to a few websites)
Then log into Wireshark
Next:
When launching WS, immediately the capture starts a DNS authentication trace
and an etherXXXXa* file with Windows & ISP usernames AND passwords is created.
Since I expect WS to be literal, I would expect that those actions that had
taken place in the past (logons & DNS authentication) would not be captured
since WS had not been started when I logged on. That means that this
information is being cached or worse somewhere. For my peace of mind, please
can you tell me about this security issue? Thank you.
