pw cracking programs

[BillCancer]

i have been using this program called brutus for password cracking and honestly it sucks. i hate it. something always goes wrong. always. i was wondering if anyone had any better suggestions as to which program(s) i should look at getting and using.

That would be because that program is older than life itself...

I personally use Cain & Abel:

i had cain and abel before. but i was like wtf and never figured out how to use it very well. ill give it another try though

anyone heard of any good apps for cracking AIM passwords?

[BillCancer]

never tried, but i think you could have with brutus through aim express...mabye. as for cain and abel, i have no clue what the fuck i am doing at all.

When you run Cain, doesn't it show you all the passwords from the registry in cleartext?

Brutus will bruteforce a remote login. Is that what you are trying to do?

Here's an article on using it.

Unless you are bruteforcing a password locally you will probably get caught.

I CLEARLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, EVER.. i dont know much about hacking, but im slowly learning (mostly from mistakes). cain seems very complicated to me but thats just cause i have no clue what all it can do.

Hello,

Perhaps cracking programs isn't for you then.  If you want to learn slowly and at your own pace - why not take some free courses in how the web is designed whether it be an extranet to how databases work.  You can take online tutorials/courses online, at your own pace, at http://www.w3schools.com

You can learn a myriad of things from TCP/IP and how/why addresses are assigned to SQL to PHP to learning .NET and how each apply to one another.  Just a suggestion.

A cracking guide disguised as an html guide.  So tricky!

It makes a pretty alternative.

i've been using John The Ripper you could try that if you want a decent password cracker...I don't know the URL for it so just google it.
