Software Description:

Proactive Windows Security Explorer (PWSE) is security testing tool that is designed to allow Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP-based systems administrators to identify and close password related security holes in their networks. It performs an audit of account passwords, and exposes insecureaccount passwords (if any). If it is possible to recover the password within a reasonable time, thepassword is considered insecure. PWSE supports retrieval from dump files (pwdump/pwdump2/pwdump3 and others), local registry, binary registry files (SAM and SYSTEM), local memory, and memory of remote computers including machines that are running Active Directory. It can also be used to perform brute-force and dictionary attacks on LM and NTLM password hashes. Several options allow you to limit the range of passwords to a specific lenght, charset, mask and more. |
