Easily recover your lost passwords on Windows.
If you have ever forgot an
application's password or if you want to
audit the security of one of your computers,
Cain & Abel will probably come in handy. This software is perfect to try to
recover or find out any password that has been used on your Windows operating system.
Unlike other similar applications,
Cain & Abel doesn't take advantage of
errors in the operating system or generate bugs, it
searches in the cache, analyzes logs, uses brute force and even checks stored conversations, among other methods, so its search isn't based on damaging the system.
To star off, the possibilities for
Cain & Abel to find a password are relatively high, even though it will be up to the user to configure everything properly to maximize the possibilities. So you have to be patient because in general the
passwords for Outlook, a
WiFi network or important applications can be extremely complicated to find and may require a lot of processing time to be found.
It is important to remember that the programs features can
generate notifications from antivirus applications, this is due to the fact that since it is an application with a somewhat harmful nature it can be detected as a security problem.
Requirements: It is necessary to have WinPcap 4.1 installed.
Note: Due to its functions this software may be detected as a threat by some antivirus programs.
