Cain & Abel description
Cain & Abel is a password recovery
tool for Microsoft Operating Systems. It allows easy recovery of
various kind of passwords by sniffing the network, cracking encrypted
passwords using Dictionary, Brute-Force and Cryptanalysis attacks,
recording VoIP conversations, decoding scrambled passwords, recovering
wireless network keys, revealing password boxes, uncovering cached
passwords and analyzing routing protocols.
The program covers some security aspects/weakness present in protocol's standards, authentication methods and caching mechanisms.
The main goal of the application is to help users easily recover passwords and credentials, but it also includes some additional useful tools.
Cain & Abel has been developed in the hope that it will be useful for network administrators, teachers, security consultants/professionals, forensic staff, security software vendors, professional penetration tester and everyone else that plans to use it for ethical reasons.
Note: Some antivirus and antispyware programs flag Cain & Abel as being infected/malware, although the application is perfectly safe and does not pose a threat to your system. This is called a 'false positive'. The term false positive is used when antivirus software wrongly classifies an innocuous (inoffensive) file as a virus. The incorrect detection may be due to heuristics or to an incorrect virus signature in a database. [Similar problems can occur with antitrojan or antispyware software.]
