ophcrack LiveCD 1.1.3
*********************
The ophcrack LiveCD is a bootable Linux CD-ROM containing ophcrack 2.3.3
and a set of tables (SSTIC04-10k). It allows for testing the strength of
passwords on a Windows machine without having to install anything on it.
Just put it into the CD-ROM drive, reboot and it will try to find a
Windows partition, extract its SAM and start auditing.
Getting it
You can download the ISO image from SourceForge mirrors.

Release Notesکد:http://www.objectif-securite.ch/ophcrack
Version 1.1.3 is a stable public release. This LiveCD is based upon
the Slax LiveCD v.5.1.7 (). It has beenکد:http://slax.linux-live.org
customized to include ophcrack 2.3.3 and the SSTIC04-10k tables set. It is
able to crack 99.9%% of alphanumeric passwords. Since the tables have to
be loaded into memory, cracking time varies with the amount of available
RAM. The minimum amount of RAM required is 256MB (because the LiveCD
uses a lot of it). The recommended amount is 512MB. Ophcrack will
auto-detect the amout of free memory and adapts its behaviour to be able
to preload all the tables it can.
A shell script launched at the beginning of the X session does the job
of finding the Windows partition and starting appropriate programs to
extract and crack password hashes. It will look for all partitions that
contains hashes. If more than one are found, you will have to choose between
them.
If your partition is not detected, make sure your the partition containing
the hashes you want to crack is mounted and the use ophcrack 'Load from
encrypted SAM' function to recover your Windows hashes. Then click 'Launch'
and the cracking process will start.
