Thank you by your work to publish this information.

I remember of one tool that it itself run as administrator and all the user environment was under your control, and the user had user rights. Then, when an application needed to run under administrator priveleges, the tool could be configured to run it.

I’m at this moment looking for it.

It doesn’t matter what type of encryption is used, any half-intelligent hacker can extract the password anyway. So
they should all change “secure” to “obfuscated”.

Regarding the solution I mentioned, http://www.quimeras.com/Products/displayproduct.asp?IdProduct=4, they rarely answer requests for support after you’ve purchased the product, very frustrating!

Hi There,

I came across this review about Run-As while surfing the net casually. I would like to add up that Steel Run-As uses RC4 encryption with PRG (pseudo random seed) for encrypting the authentication parameters in the executable.

Thanks and regards,
Senthil

about RunasSpc – I had a security analyst check the software and he found it uses a simple substitution ciper not aes or anything special.
I also did not see any mention of what security they use.

As a result I will probably opt for:
Encrypted Runas
