Types Of Hacking Programs

One type of hacking program is a key logger hacking program. This tracks the keystrokes on a computer, and often the password can be determined based on the pattern of keystrokes used. 

Another type of hacking program is a password recovery program. This will either reset your passwords, or reveal them to you, on your own personal computer. This is used not for e-mail programs, but for XP programs and other password protected devices on your computers.
