Proactive Password Auditor 2.0.4426

Proactive Password Auditor 2.0.4426 is designed as an effective tool which can allow Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003-based systems administrators to identify and close security holes in their networks. It helps secure networks by executing an audit of account passwords, and exposing insecure account passwords.

A few different methods of obtaining password hashes for further auditing are supported: from pwdump-files, Registry files, and memory of local and remote computers, including ones running Active Directory. The product features brute-force and dictionary attacks on password hashes, effectively optimized for speed (including dual-core processors), plus "rainbow" attack, that uses pre-computed hash tables that allow to find most passwords in minutes instead of days or weeks
