Crack windows xp domain password

Since I'm using a Pentium III and Linux I chose "linux-xmmx-elf" as my target platform: Linux Command: make linux-xmmx-elf Assuming there were no errors during the compile, change into the directory that the binaries were copied to: Linux Command: cd.. Once that is done you can begin to try and crack the hashes.

The first kind of crack to try is the wordlist crack: Linux Command:. If the hashes match, John will print the password to the screen: Linux Command Output: hotmonkeylove jdoe The "password. The following command will use the rules in john. In most cases cached passwords should not be much of a problem since they can take a long time to crack if you have good password policies in place.

For those who are still paranoid and have a very reliable connection to their domain controller, they can follow these steps to disable the caching of passwords and credentials: 1. Reboot I hope that this tutorial has been useful. Happy password auditing! After a little work I managed to get around that and had Cain cracking hashes that I had dumped using CacheDump. Here's a tutorial I wrote on how to do it:. In version 2. This is really a big limitation because, as I've found, usually you want to go get a lot of hashes from different machines and compile them into a big list and crack them all at once.

If this is not the case, it is usually not convenient to crack the hashes on the machine that they were retrieved from because it may be a machine at your office or school. You may have sufficient privaleges to install and use Cain but in most cases it's probably not the best idea. Cain is much easier to use than John the Ripper for cracking just about anything. In this case, both Cain and John the Ripper support cracking MS-Cache hashes but John has the distinct advantage of being able to crack hashes from a list rather than restricting only to hashes retrieved from the local machine.

In fact, as John is only meant to crack hashes, it cannot even retrieve any hashes at all but that's beside the point. Cain also has a nice, pretty GUI and runs on Windows, therefore making it much easier for most people to use compared to John command line only, can't run on Windows without the help of Cygwin. As I said before, Cain only supports cracking hashes retrieved from the local machine but most of the time this isn't convenient or safe.

However, there is a way to get Cain to crack MS-Cache hashes from any machine that you'd like. CacheDump is a tool mentioned in Irongeek's tutorial that can retrieve cached hashes from a machine. It requires administrative privaleges to retrieve the hashes so you'll have to be logged in under an adminstrative account for it to work.

Irongeek spells it out in his tutorial so I won't go through how to use it here. Once you have used it and have your text file with the hashes, take that to the computer you'd like to crack the hashes on using Cain. There are two things holding Cain back from cracking hashes obtained from external machines.

The first is that Cain does not support importing a hash list to be cracked. To get around this you need to first be sure that Cain is closed. If Cain isn't closed, you won't be able to save any changes to the file you will need to change see the next paragraph. LST among many others. All the LST files you see are temporary files that Cain uses to store cracked and uncracked hashes between sessions. That way Cain doesn't have to start cracking everything all over when you start up the program again and you don't have to import the hashes again as well.

Go ahead and open this file up in Notepad or your favorite text editor. Juts type a new password in the box and type it again to confirm. Now you can log into Windows XP with the new password.

In Windows XP, there is a built-in administrator account with blank password. However, it will not be shown on normal Windows login screen. It is easy. Command Prompt will run automatically. Now you can use a simple command to reset your admin password. The old password will be replaced with the new one instantly. After that, restart the computer and then you can log on the admin account with the new password.

Finally you need to reset your admin password in Control Panel. Step 1: Use Windows Password Rescuer to create a password recovery disk. Step 2: Crack Windows XP administrator password on your locked computer. Once burning completed, plug the USB password recovery disk into your locked computer. You will see the administrator password is reset to blank.
