Proactive Password Auditor
-
Version
1.60
Proactive Password Auditor is a password security test
tool that's designed to allow Windows NT, Windows
2000, Windows XP and and Windows Server 2003-based
systems administrators to identify and close security
holes in their networks. Proactive Password Auditor
helps secure networks by executing an audit of account
passwords, and exposing insecure account passwords. If
it is possible to recover the password within a
reasonable time, the password is considered insecure.
The software supports a few different methods of
obtaining password hashes for further attack/audit:
from dump files (generated by 3rd party tools like
pwdump/pwdump2/pwdump3), Registry of local computer,
binary Registry files (SAM and SYSTEM), memory of
local computer, and memory of remote computers (Domain
Controllers), including ones running Active Directory.
The product features brute-force and dictionary
attacks on LM and NTLM password hashes, effectively
optimized for speed, plus rainbow attack, that uses
pre-computed hash tables that allow to find most
passwords in minutes instead of days or weeks.
