Doesn't do any good to get a sam file from the repair directory if the
admins don't update the sam file using the repair /s option.

Hi there,
as this paper was not detailing NT hacking methods, or WIN2SHIT hacking
staff,
i did not mention pwdump2 or other tools which make it easy to
dump sam._ file from winnt/system32/repair/sam._ even if it was SYSKEY ed.
 cheers

If the system has applied syskey, which is default in Win2k, then this
approach will be useless. You'd have to be able to upload other tools,
which you may or may not be able to do.
