Can WFilter monitor login username and password?

Postby orell » Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:03 am

I am using WFilter in my Network of 800 client computers in a trial period .



I had recorded the traffic of last few days in which i found that i am able to see the User and Password of few user in the network who login into some sites like way2sms.com,timesjob.com,fullonsms.com etc ..



So i am confused that wether Wfilter can record the login and password of users in the network ..



Plz guide me in detail as we are planning to purchase the software for our unlimited users ..

WFilter does not intend to record user's passwords. Actually, it hides "password like" post contents from being viewed.



HTTP web pages allow your password to be transfered in plain text on the network. That's why you can see some passwords in "Web Post" history records. Though WFilter have tried to hide "password like" post content, there is still some passwords can be viewed if their names are not "password like".
