Some advice.. only try to crack the LM hashes. They won't be longer then 14 chars. Also read a little bit for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LM_hash The hashes are best retrieved with dll injection into lsass.

Hi Friends, Nowaday, I am studying on the Topic - Cracking Windows password. There are lot of tools out there which can dump LM and NTLM hashes for you. But as far i know, you can't touch the SAM file when windows is running, so, how does these tools work. Is the sam dumped in-memory? Regards V
