Penetration testing

Hi all.

I'm looking to penetrate my system and I'm looking for some reliable tools. Does anyone know of an up to date password cracker I could use on my system? (XP here). I've looked but none of them seem to work when I try to unzip them.

Thanks!

Take a look at Ophcrack for local password cracking - it's fast and reliable. Also look into John and Cain. For other (remote in most cases, not so much local) pen testing tools, take a look at my thread directly below this one - 'Senior penetra...'

John the Ripper - http://www.openwall.com/john/

Cain & Abel - http://www.oxid.it/cain.html

Brutus - http://www.hoobie.net/brutus/ (might work, depends on your needs)



These all came from one page, which was the first hit in a Google search for password cracking tools penetration testing

Thanks, both of you!

Real quick - J_K9's thread that he mentions:
