Password-cracking utility

jimmyjiang · 10-22-2009, 11:13 AM

hi all,
anyone know some good password-cracking utility for my Linux server (or windows 2003 servers).

- Open-source (something like NutCracker);
- Running as a service;
- Possibility to use password dictionaries;
- Possibility to set up the resource usage quota (to not overload the server and limit the CPU usage);
- Reporting by mail (SMTP);

thanks in advance!
jimmy

Might want to have a quick re-read of the LQ rules. I'm pretty sure this isn't a legit topic and I've asked the mods to take a look.

It will only be used as security improvement to detect accounts with no password at all or weak passwords at my company network.

Hangdog is correct---we cannot be supplying this kind of information. While your application may be legitimate, someone else's might not be.

If you are dealing with security tools and techniques, I'm sure there are all manner of sites that specialize.
