One of several ways to gain Admin passwords in a windows system, if you have physical access to the system is by using a boot live linux distro like Backtrack2. Backtrack is a pen-testing distro so obviously it is loaded with all kinds of software to help you do security tests in both local and remote systems.

Assuming that the local allows you to boot from the CD and the bios is not password protected. Which also has ways to go around but I won’t discuss those in this tutorial.

The first thing to do after booting in to BT (Backtrack), is to open a shell window.

Our first job is to mount the disk/partition where the windows installation that we are trying to crack is located. With this command : # cd /mnt/hda2/WINDOWS/system32/config

A few months back we wrote about a private investigation firm in the UK that had a separate “computer hacking” division called “Hackers Are Us.” It seemed like the sort of thing that you wouldn’t necessarily want to name a company that clearly was breaking computer fraud laws — but no one ever said criminals were smart. A court has now convicted the two guys who set up the service… and it turns out that both were actually on the police force at the time (though one was on leave for depression). Yes, “Hackers Are Us,” a private investigation firm that would illegally install keyloggers on anyone’s computer was run by two moonlighting cops.

Someone is using a Grand Theft Auto mod video as a way to trick viewers into infecting themselves. Although YouTube videos remain safe to view, that hasn’t stopped criminals from finding new ways to entice YouTube viewers to get infected with the latest Trojan horse. The latest example is a Grand Theft Auto video for a mod called Hood Life. According to Chris Boyd, Director of Malware Research at FaceTime Security Labs, the graphics in the mod are lame. He says the images used in the video are circa 1986, crudely rendered, not up to the high standards of the GTA game itself, yet at least 54 people have nonetheless downloaded the game.

ProxyFuzz is a man-in-the-middle non-deterministic network fuzzer written in Python. ProxyFuzz randomly changes (fuzzes) contents on the network traffic. It supports TCP and UDP protocols and can also be configured to fuzz only one side of the communication. ProxyFuzz is protocol agnostic so it can randomly fuzz any network communication.

The video shows ProxyFuzz proxying traffic between a VMWare Console and a VMWare Server. This is just a dumb example of the things you can do with this tool.
