Linux to Hack Windows

Hmm havent added much techincal articles of late, so this is a new one.

I am not much of a fan of opensource linux, but these neat slax requires a mention. OPHCRACK can be used to recover your Xp or Vista password. I am adding a link for the live cd version. These cute slax based program when live wired mounts all your drives and shows you the windows OS installed in the machine and after selecting the partition shows the password of all the accounts for that OS.. nice rite pretti simple...

download from http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=133599&use_mirror=superb-east&filename=ophcrack-livecd-1.2.2.iso&67538517

Back Track OS.. another cute linux that contains a tons of application for exploiting. I forgot the link for this OS

Syntel

I am now in pune. Undergoing regorous training preperaing myself mentally and phyisically for the Syntel Projects. We get very little time for roaming only on sundays. We can play pool only on every alternative days... Just kidding pune is going on went to lotsa places met a couple of really fictitious charachters and great places to eat. Relying a lot on cafes to give me nirvana. The speed and grace with which they finish subjects over here leaves me spell bound. I have been waiting to blog for a long time but never got the chance. Orkut seems like a dream nowadays and so is home..
