What I was wondering was is there a password cracker that substitutes numbers for letters?
Sure, crack has done this for a long time: http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~crypto/
As an example, we all know people do tend to use words as a password, occasionally improving their strength with the use of numbers i.e. password99. I also think that a lot of people may use p4ssw0rd.
If you really want to do this with L0phtcrack, then it would be pretty easy to write a program that would take a dictionary file, and output a new (larger) dictionary with the number substitutions done.
