Longcat Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Ok, my friend has a server set up and has a forums that he wants me to test if I can crack the password of his account. Is there any way I can do this in either XP or Backtrack 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, yes, if you have a spare millennia or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying I need a list of the passwords, because open bruteforcing with upper and lowercase alpha + symbols would take infinite time..?

Brute forcing a login is different to cracking passwords. Cracking passwords takes allot of CPU power and time, brute forcing passwords takes a decent size botnet and time to be done effectively.

Dfg Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 For cracking the passwords you need to get the database and depending on the forum those passwords will be encrypted.
