That was the first thing I tried, placed the cracked passwords into a file and added it to the password list in LC5, removed the other lists just to make sure it was working but it didn't make any difference, it was like the dictionary attack didn't see the numbers or characters. I tested it a few different ways and there was not change in the completion time.

Seems totally logical that it would work but each time I tried it I came up with the dictionary attack taking the same amount of time to complete..

I understand that you have an assignment and so you are compelled to do
that. But, wouldn't it be easier to create a diccionary with the passwords
in clar text?. In fact I believe LC5 can create a diccionary with the
result of a session.

Thank you all for the great suggestions! I now have some great resourses
from where I can pull the info I need.


Now, I've got a good one for you which may be a challange to come up with
a
solution.

I have now been tasked to take a list of passwords and try to generate a
precomputed hash table out of those passwords...not sure if this can be
done
but of course I have to find a way..since I am "holding up a project".

Reason for this...the idea is that if we take the current list of
passwords
create a pre-computed hash table the next time we audit we'd run LC5 (till
I
convense them otehrwise) and all but the passwords that changed and new
accounts would get knocked out right away.

Does anyone have a hint as to how I should do this? Is there a way to take

the hashes and the cracked clear text and merge them into a table?

What is the best application foir creating pre-computed hash tables, that
will work with LC5?

Thanks again for your help and the great suggestions!!

Tony
