What is ophcrack? 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. It comes with a Graphical User Interface and runs on multiple platforms. Features:. » Runs on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X.

» Cracks LM and NTLM hashes. » Free tables available for Windows XP and Vista/7. » Brute-force module for simple passwords.

The LM hash is the old style hash used in Microsoft OS before NT 3.1. Then, NTLM was introduced and supports password length greater than 14. On Vista, 7, 8 and 10 LM hash is supported for backward compatibility but is disabled by default. The goal is too extract LM and/or NTLM hashes from the system, either live or dead.

  • Dec 31, 2016  So someone who has a Windows SAM file can run a lookup for the hash in a pre-computed table and find the password(if it’s relatively simple).
  • Restore data with Shadow Explorer. Shadow Explorer is an application that is able to provide you with Shadow Copies created by the Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service. Once you’ve downloaded this application, open a folder with it; Right-click on the file ShadowExplorer-0.9-portable and choose Extract all option.

» Audit mode and CSV export. » Real-time graphs to analyze the passwords. » LiveCD available to simplify the cracking.

» Dumps and loads hashes from encrypted SAM recovered from a Windows partition. » Free and open source software (GPL).

In future installments, we'll look at cracking passwords remotely, with and on Linux operating systems, and cracking famous web applications such as Gmail and Facebook, so keep coming back! Step 1: Download Pwdump3 Windows systems encrypt user passwords and store them in a file named SAM and store them in the following directory:.

c: Windows system32 config The first thing we need to do is grab this file. In, we used to hack into the malicious dictator's computer and grab his password hashes. We can also grab the hashes without Metasploit if we have physical access to a computer on the network. This can be done with a neat piece of software called pwdump3.

It's installed on already, but you can download it for free on Windows using the link below. Pwdump3 is able to grab the encrypted passwords for us, and we can then crack them with another password cracking tool.

So, let's grab that SAM file with pwdump3! Step 2: Grab the Hashes Open a command prompt. Now navigate to the folder where you placed your pwdump3 app. I put mine on the desktop. Now type:.

c:/user/Desktop/pwdump3 mycomputer hashdumpfile.txt When you hit enter, pwdump3 will grab the password hashes and place them in the file called ' hashdumpfile.txt'. Make sure that you replace ' mycomputer' in the command above with the actual name of your computer. If you don't know the name of your computer, simply type ' hostname' as the command prompt and Windows will return the name of your computer. Pwdump3 can retrieve the password hashes from any computer on your network! Step 3: Download Cain & Abel Now that we have encrypted passwords (hashes), we now need to decrypt them so we can read and use them. Most hacking software is developed for the Linux operating system, then gets ported (recompiled) for Windows, but there is one delightful exception— Cain and Abel.

Cain and Abel is a hacking application exclusive to Windows that has never been ported for Linux. It's a powerful and free (but not open source) application that every hacker should be familiar with. We'll be using just one of its many capabilities, namely cracking Windows password hashes. If you navigate to the Cain folder on your system, you will see a folder called ' Wordlist.' You can use this relatively small word list or any other word list of your choice (there are numerous word lists available on the Internet with millions of words). This method attempts all words from the dictionary file to find password matches, and generally is very fast as it can search through even a large dictionary file in just a few minutes. If this fails, select ' Hybrid Attack' and finally, a ' Brute-Force Attack.'

A brute force might be slow, but eventually, it will crack all passwords. Okay, stay connected here at Null Byte, because we have more exciting Hack Like a Pro guides coming up soon!

What I read elsewhere was that you can create a dictionary using things you know like pet names, birthdays, phone numbers, relative names, etc. I've seen multiple references to creating a custom dictionary, but nowhere can I find instructions on how to actually DO IT.

I tried creating a txt file with the words I wanted to try, but even when I plug in the exact password into this txt file (I know the password for this Windows 7 acct because it's a test account) it still isn't successful. There has to be a certain way to format it or something that I'm not aware of. I strongly suspect that the Win 7 acct I'm trying to crack likely contains a pet name and/or address, and something from.

I need to create a custom dictionary with all of the things I want to try but don't know how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your quick response. I'm not sure about the encryption type. However, it is a 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium machine that I'm trying to crack. I dumped the hashes from the SAM and I'm using Cain & Abel on my desktop (a 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate machine) to do the actual cracking. Hopefully that will help determine what you need to know. I also added a screenshot from Cain that may or may not help.

The account on top is the one I need to crack. The one on bottom is a test account that I set up on my desktop machine for testing.

I know the password for that one. I have been using a Windows application to generate wordlists. I have also created my own lists from scratch containing just the known correct password and it fails. I originally used Notepad.

Since that wasn't working, I thought maybe it was a formatting or encoding issue. I've tried Notepad, MS Word, Wordpad, and Notepad. Same result every time. I started a forum thread over here in case having an outright discussion isn't appropriate for the comment thread here. Anyway, I'm going to change the test account password to something arbitrary and then test.

If no luck, I'll post a link to my test wordlist in the thread. I figure this isn't the place to have a thorough discussion about my specific issues. Thanks for the responses. Hello all, and Master! So, i have question how to use the Cain and abel to crack pasword for web page (server game) if i know usernames. Lets say, havent used acc, and made it ages ago.
