Bit of an unusual one - Lets imagine you are a security administrator at a company - strong passwords are enforced but you suspect that there may be exceptions and you want to raise management awareness of breaches of the password policy BUT you can't run cracking software as then you will know individuals passwords - which you don't want to know as this breaks acountability rather nicely. In short - is there software that can perform the function of LC and John without giving the admin the password but rather rate the password against against a set criteria? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computer Forensics Training at the InfoSec Institute.
