The best password crackers. The list made from all password brealkers from all over the globe including versions from unix and widnows as well.
1. Cain and Abel : The top password recovery tool for Windows
UNIX users often smugly assert that the best free security tools support
their platform first, and Windows ports are often an afterthought. They
are usually right, but Cain & Abel is a glaring exception. This
Windows-only password recovery tool handles an enormous variety of
tasks. It can recover passwords by sniffing the network, cracking
encrypted passwords using Dictionary, Brute-Force and Cryptanalysis
attacks, recording VoIP conversations, decoding scrambled passwords,
revealing password boxes, uncovering cached passwords and analyzing
routing protocols
2. John the Ripper : A powerful, flexible, and fast multi-platform password hash cracker
John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many
flavors of Unix (11 are officially supported, not counting different
architectures), DOS, Win32, BeOS, and OpenVMS. Its primary purpose is to
detect weak Unix passwords. It supports several crypt(3) password hash
types which are most commonly found on various Unix flavors, as well as
Kerberos AFS and Windows NT/2000/XP LM hashes
3. THC Hydra : A Fast network authentication cracker which support many different services
When you need to brute force crack a remote authentication service,
Hydra is often the tool of choice. It can perform rapid dictionary
attacks against more then 30 protocols, including telnet, ftp, http,
https, smb, several databases, and much more
4. Aircrack : The fastest available WEP/WPA cracking tool
Aircrack is a suite of tools for 802.11a/b/g WEP and WPA cracking. It
can recover a 40 through 512-bit WEP key once enough encrypted packets
have been gathered. It can also attack WPA 1 or 2 networks using
advanced cryptographic methods or by brute force. The suite includes
airodump (an 802.11 packet capture program), aireplay (an 802.11 packet
injection program), aircrack (static WEP and WPA-PSK cracking), and
airdecap (decrypts WEP/WPA capture files)
5. L0phtcrack : Windows password auditing and recovery application
L0phtCrack, also known as LC5, attempts to crack Windows passwords from
hashes which it can obtain (given proper access) from stand-alone
Windows NT/2000 workstations, networked servers, primary domain
controllers, or Active Directory. In some cases it can sniff the hashes
off the wire. It also has numerous methods of generating password
guesses (dictionary, brute force, etc). LC5 was discontinued by Symantec in 2006, but you can still find the LC5 installer
floating around. The free trial only lasts 15 days, and Symantec won't
sell you a key, so you'll either have to cease using it or find a key generator. Since it is no longer maintained, you are probably better off trying Cain and Abel, John the Ripper, or Ophcrack instead.
6. Airsnort : 802.11 WEP Encryption Cracking Tool
AirSnort is a wireless LAN
(WLAN) tool that recovers encryption keys. It was developed by the Shmoo
Group and operates by passively monitoring transmissions, computing the
encryption key when enough packets have been gathered. You may also be
interested in the similar Aircrack.
7. SolarWinds : A plethora of network discovery/monitoring/attack tools
SolarWinds has created and sells dozens of special-purpose tools
targeted at systems administrators. Security-related tools include many
network discovery scanners, an SNMP brute-force cracker, router password
decryption, a TCP connection reset program, one of the fastest and
easiest router config download/upload applications available and more.
8. Pwdump : A window password recovery tool
Pwdump is able to extract NTLM and LanMan hashes from a Windows target, regardless of whether Syskey is enabled.
It is also capable of displaying password histories if they are
available. It outputs the data in L0phtcrack-compatible form, and can
write to an output file.
9. RainbowCrack : An Innovative Password Hash Cracker
The RainbowCrack tool is a hash cracker that makes use of a large-scale
time-memory trade-off. A traditional brute force cracker tries all
possible plaintexts one by one, which can be time consuming for complex
passwords. RainbowCrack uses a time-memory trade-off to do all the
cracking-time computation in
advance and store the results in so-called "rainbow tables". It does
take a long time to precompute the tables but RainbowCrack can be
hundreds of times faster than a brute force cracker once the
precomputation is finished.
10 Brutus : A network brute-force authentication cracker
This Windows-only cracker bangs against network services of remote
systems trying to guess passwords by using a dictionary and permutations
thereof. It supports HTTP, POP3, FTP, SMB, TELNET, IMAP, NTP, and more.
No source code is available. UNIX users should take a look at THC Hydra.
