0phrack... one reason why you should have a BIOS Password.

I recalled there's a time you really forgot your password. (Hence you shouldn't forgot something that is so important).Be it either in your Linux box or Windows. Although password is seen to be easily crack or by brute force or smart guessing. It is your first line of defense against malicious attack. For Linux users , it's advisable to disable the single mode booting (a.k.a boot mode single in Debian/Gentoo or init 1 in Fedora/Redhat). the reason. Simply allowing it disable the purpose of security itself :).

Well leaving the security lectures above . Today I'm quite please with myself by obtaining 10-20 passwords from various Windows Box . So parents i recommend Ophrack to have a sneak peak on what;s goin on in your kids PC today.
Ophrack is a cracker tool based on Rainbow Tables and support various LM accent.

Based on my assumption (people tend to put their password in purely 6-8 character of alphanumeric) It shouldn't take more then 5-6 minutes to crack up the hashes (on a 1gighz Intel Machine).

To counter the problem? make yourself an anagram of alphanumeric password 20 character should enough :)
