-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- He may be talking about a tool from a company called Quackenbush: http://www.l0pht.com/advisories/pwapprais.txt Given the analysis I've seen, I wouldn't get the Quackenbush product/service, unless things have changed recently. L0phtcrack is mentioned in this paper as well, but it's not a password checker, it a password cracker, and a really good one. AFAIR it doesn't do scheduled anything, but it's been a while since I've played with it. Put it in your toolkit, though.
