Cain and Abel

- pass-audit
- sniffers

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. It is also well documented. For downloads and more information, visit the Cain and Abel homepage.

I am sorry that I have given it up, although it has given me a lot of help in recovering the Windwos password,but sometimes,it doesn't work.Fortunately,i found this one:https://www.winpwd.com/ Which is able to reset the login/admin password from Windows 7/8/10/XP/Vista.

The homepage of the Cain and Abel site is marked dangerous in Firefox and Chrome so unable to download safely at the moment. Try https://www.comparitech.com/net-admin/network-monitoring-tools/ for alternative network security tools.

This is a great tool for finding out weak passwords and cracking them. However, I would not recommend it for newbies. Download: https://securedyou.com/cain-and-abel-free-download-for-windows/

A long time user of Cain and Abel. It used to work great on Windows XP and Windows 7 but failed a couple of times on Windows. As the owner of workshop, I found out Androidphonesoft is more effective for recovering Windows password: https://www.androidphonesoft.com/windows-password-recovery.html

Excellent Program, very user friendly, even a novice can use it. I would highly recommend this program.

It's nice and easy to use. I find it likely the best cracker. And.. Whoever thought of the anti spam thing, they're brilliant. XD

The best Windows security tool in regards to multipurpose functionality. I use it a lot when teaching classes in Windows Security due to its extensive funcionality and ease of use.
