Hacking Windows Passwords
For this section pretty much all you need is a
tool called Cain and Abel password recovery
tool. It is available at
I would definitely recommend this tool.
Ok, in my first text file i included the method
to collect .pwl files from a windows 9x
computer. This is the tool used to crack it.
Open up cain after downloading it and click on
the tab labeled 'cracker'.
And select 'PWL files' as shown above.
Then open up a pwl file you got from a
computer.
Then just crack the files! It might take a while
depending on your processor speed. On my
piece of crap laptop it takes about 45 minutes
to crack a password file (it has has an intel
pentium I processor and like 64 megs of ram
(that does say sixty four, not eighty four) :P )
So on a computer with 128 its probably gonna
take around 15-20 minutes. My computer's got
360 megs and an amd type processor and it
only takes like 10 minutes to crack depending.
TIP: There is a program called FreeRAM. It
free's up ram not being used by other
programs and speeds up your computer a lot.
Also, if your using windows xp, change the
style of the desktop to classic windows. The
windows xp look takes TONS of ram up.
CRACKING THE SAM FILE!
Unfortunately, Cain and Abel doesnt come with
the ability to crack SAM files.
BUT, there is a password recovery tool used
to crack them. Its called lopht. No, that isnt
1opht, its an L. I dont have much experience
with it, but the times ive used it, it has worked
great.
Well, thats all for now.
