Cracking Windows (xp,vista,7,8) Passwords With Backtrack.
Using OphCrack.
Using Ophcrack,You can crack account password of almost all the Windows
till date,And since OphCrack is the fastest password cracking tool,it
wont take more than 4-5 minutes to crack a password.So let's begin -
What Do You Need ?
BackTrack 5 Live DVD.
Rainbow Files (i'll tell you what it is.)
Physical Access to victim PC.
So What-The-Hell is Rainbow Files ?
First
thing that pops in mind when reading rainbow files is the collection of
rainbows and unicorns flying,but no,Rainbow Files/Tables are basically
huge sets of precomputed tables filled with hash values that are
pre-matched to possible plaintext passwords. The Rainbow Tables
essentially allow hackers to reverse the hashing function to determine
what the plaintext password might be. It's possible for two different
passwords to result in the same hash so it's not important to find out
what the original password was, just as long as it has the same hash.
The plaintext password may not even be the same password that was
created by the user, but as long as the hash is matched, then it doesn't
matter what the original password was.So What Do I Need To Do ?
You need to download the rainbow tables matching to the OS Version of your victim PC,Get Them Here.You
can download the smaller files because they will work,unless your
victim is the Head of FBI who uses 28 letter long password.NOTE : the
vista files will work for Windows 7 and Windows 8 too.
