  1. Hi. I got the PC installed. I tried finding the hash with OPHCrack (I found it) OPHCrack failed at cracking it. I then tried with my rainbow tables. They failed. What to do?

    Why the hell are you trying to crack an admin password on a supposedly new PC?

    You set the users when you first boot into Windows.

  2. If it's a brand-new laptop, shouldn't you be prompted to create the admin account during OOBE?

    This. Windows 7's admin account is disabled by default in new installs. When you first boot up the machine, it'll prompt you to create a user account.

  3. The way I do it is just ssh into the box and use an SSH tunnel to access phpvirtualbox.

    I wouldn't allow it direct access to the internet, but I want to make sure everything is as secure as possible.

    I say to use SSH since there is no authentication in phpvirtualbox (unless you set up authentication in apache), and by default you access the interface via http, which isn't encrypted.

  4. Ive played with a few but to be honest, even on Linux, I have no use for them. I find them to be less productive in the long run, instead or more productive. If you want to increase productivity, get additional physical monitors and spread your work out among them. Thats just my opinion though.

    +1.

    I've not found a use for the multiple workspaces, it's more distracting for me to switch between the two, then hook up another monitor and extend the desktop onto it.

  5. After bashing my head into a wall trying to figure out why phpVirtualBox wasn't working on my server, when it was working on a VM on that same server, I rebooted and it started working. Guess there was a service that wasn't being happy or something. *shrug*

    Granted there is no authentication and the user credentials are stored in clear text, you can limit access by configuring the firewall, or only allowing access to port 80 over SSH (which is what I am doing). Crossing my fingers that this will be easier to do then configuring virtual machines using the VirtualBox GUI forwarded over SSH.

    Great episode, as always guys! :D

    EDIT: I set Apache is ask for password authentication to connect, as well as set up SSL and told Apache to not listen on port 80.

    Should add a little bit of security. :)

  6. I've had no problems at all with Ophcrack. I even changed the location of the /tables/ directory using the guide here.

    My menu.lst looks like this:

    ### OphCrack XP/Vista/7 ###
    title OphCrack
    configfile /multipass/ophcrack/ophcrack.lst

    ophcrack.lst

    title Ophcrack Graphic mode - automatic
    kernel /multipass/ophcrack/bzImage rw root=/dev/null vga=normal lang=C kmap=us screen=1024x768x16 autologin
    initrd=/multipass/ophcrack/rootfs.gz
    
    title Ophcrack Graphic mode - manual
    kernel /multipass/ophcrack/bzImage rw root=/dev/null vga=normal autologin
    initrd=/multipass/ophcrack/rootfs.gz
    
    title Ophcrack Text mode
    kernel /multipass/ophcrack/bzImage rw root=/dev/null vga=normal screen=text autologin
    initrd=/multipass/ophcrack/rootfs.gz
    
    title Main Menu
    root (hd0,0)
    configfile /menu.lst

    Directory structure:

    [vista_free]
    [xp_free_fast]
    [xp_free_small]
    bzImage
    ophcrack.lst
    rootfs.gz
