L0phtCrack in the news

Protect Your Passwords
"L0phtCrack can derive difficult passwords from their hash within hours. I
ran L0phtCrack on a 150MHz
Pentium machine, and in one day, the tool decrypted
three 14-character passwords made up of
combinations of numbers and mixed-case letters. The
tool decrypted simple passwords such as picnic
in a few seconds. Cracking hashes doesn't take
high-powered CPUs or an experienced hacker."

NT Server Security Checklist
"Regularly run a password cracking utility against your
SAM database as part of your security regimen, even if you
enable SP3's passfilt.dll or use a third-party product
such as Enterprise Administrator... L0phtCrack is a powerful tool that
needs to be part of every NT administrator's toolkit."

It's about time to get cracking on Windows NT password
security
Long regarded as a critical network security function in the Unix
community, password cracking is still seldom
broached in Windows NT circles. This is unfortunate -- NT's user
account information is just as vulnerable to
password cracking tools. NT administrators need to get over this
hurdle. Even we were surprised by what we
found when we let popular password guessing tools loose in the Test
Center.
