Subject: Best way to crack NT passwds

Chances are the system used by the website was a multi-processor beast 
of machine, able to maximise cpu time to cracking the passwords.
If you can get the password hash, then your best bet is to run it 
through jtr(john the ripper).

C:\toolkit\passwords\pwdump> pwdump2
Administrator:500:62b239ea3de3b4142e04d2d295f821b0:a929535485de3b5088923fd58d02cca2:::

C:\toolkit\passwords\pwdump> pwdump2 > passwords.dump
C:\toolkit\passwords\john>john -incremental passwords.dump
Loaded 4 passwords with no different salts (NT LM DES [24/32 4K])
TEST0R              (Administrator:2)
guesses: 1  time: 0:00:00:20  c/s: 9045001  trying: PMSBRK - HLEYKL


Thats on a 1.987mhz AMD processor in windows 2000, running about 30 
other things at once.


Hope this helps.
