Windows Vista,XP Password Recovery with Ophcrack
Have you forgotten your Windows Vista or Windows XP administrator password? Remembering passwords is sometimes difficult. Usually you try as many trials as you can[Brute Force method]. But at last all the trails will go in vain. Then how can you recover the password easily. Ophcrack is an open source project that helps you indeed.
Ophcrack is a free Windows password cracker based on rainbow tables. It is a very efficient implementation of rainbow tables done by the inventors of the method. I have already discussed on the way how most of the Operating systems store the password.
There is no need to know much about the background process for a newbie. Ophcrack program starts by itself, locates the Windows user accounts, and takes steps in recovering (cracking) the passwords – every thing will be done automatically. This is a good method and is equally as easy as changing the password using a USB bootable Windows OS.
Features:
- Runs on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X and other Operating System.
- Graphical User Interface
- Cracks LM and NTLM hashes and other tables.
- Free tables available for Windows XP and Vista.
- Brute-force module for simple passwords.
- Audit mode and CSV export.
- Real-time graphs to analyze the passwords.
- LiveCD available to simplify the cracking.
- Loads hashes from encrypted SAM recovered from a Windows partition, Vista included.
- Free and open source software (GPL).
