Re: cracking Y2k DC Admin password

Hi,
I've found cachedump to be reliable in the past, lsadump caused some crashing problems for me at the time so I didn't use it.

Could somebody tell me how to go about retrieving the hashes from the offline sam file. Is there a way? And if so what form do the hashes come in, DES?


Thanks

try

- rescue in windows folder and backup sam file from it, it has admin
credentials, johny the riper, LC, and ophcrack will do the job - with hash
tables....
- use cachedump to dump cached credentials on that server, maybe admin was
signed on (default is 5 accounts cached)
- use lsadump2 to dump passwords of running services, maybe some of them is
running with the local admin credentials

Hi,

admin. know I need to retrive the admin's password this is the goal of the
pen test from the client side. I know an easy way to crack the sam file
with a live linux cd but I cant boot the server it needs to be allways up.

shere. so it wont work.does someone knows a good way to retrive and crack
the admin's password.I an really stuck on this...

Juan
