Defeating password safes

Presented at ToorCon San Diego 14 (2012), Oct. 21, 2012, 11:30 a.m. (20 minutes).

I'd like to demonstrate the weaknesses in password safe programs like Keepass and Gorilla as well as anti-AV detection to evade notice.

I'll show off how a non admin program run silently in the background can snarf  users and passwords from password safe programs without getting the users attention or needing SYSTEM privs. I'll include code to do so as well as explain how the code works, then try and explain how my hijack could be prevented.
