Re: Password Audit tools

[Dan Connelly <connellyd () gmail com>]

Internet Scanner does a good job of enumerating accounts on a Windows
Domain(using netbios and null sessions) but if you tried to brute
force/dictionary every account that it found the scan would take a
VERY long time to complete.  If you are trying to pw crack through a
service (ftp,telnet,http...), use hydra otherwise use LC or John the
Ripper.
BTW, Nessus also does a good job enumerating accounts, and its free ;)
