As an NT administrator, I found l0phtcrack to be a really valuable tool for evaluating my domain password security. having since upgraded to windows 2000, is there a compatible tool I can use for the same purpose? thanks

btw - I've already tried L0phtcrack against my local machine's SAM file, and I even manually entered the correct passwords into the wordlist used my L0phtcrack, and it still was unable to crack the password.

so.. its obviously incompatible. any help here?

I think there is a Linux Utility that shuxclams may know of. Something like Get Admin, Or Get Pass something like that

I've seen one that you can boot with a linux floppy with NTFS drivers or DOS NTFS drivers to where you can see the NTFS filesystem, then reset the admin password

BUT.. these systems for reasons I won't take time to explain are all FAT32 Windows 2000 systems, AND I don't want to reset the admin password, just want to brute force or otherwise obtain the current one

I doubt that the Linux floppy would work on most systems due to wonderful option to encrypt your NTFS file system. Of course, with FAT32 all security bets are off.

like I said, it is FAT32, so &quot;all bets&quot; are off in this case.

basically I want a brute force cracker that works with the windows 2000 password hash method, because its obviously different than NT4 since l0pht can't crack it

that appears to re-set the password to something else.

I don't want to re-set it, it has to remain the same, because I wouldn't be able to set it back to what it originally was, since I don't know what it is

how about this site:

Lost Password

I know its not for password security. In Linux there is a tool called &quot;nmap&quot; which checks TCP/IP sequence prediction. That might help.
A strong system will be in the millions. Windows NT normally is in the thousands.
