Hashing algorithms are generally designed such that they are one way. The only way to do what you want is to cycle through every possibility until you find one that yields the same hash code. That could take a very long time.

yes but isnt there some kind of hash decoder out there that i could use

No.

Again., the very idea of a hash is that it can't be reversed to get at the original string.

I have a feeling that the fact that he just told you that _twice_ would count, yes.

Google is pretty good. Why don't you try searching, and then if need be ask for help?

Well your not trying hard enough, the program I use to crack windows passwords (both 98 passwords and XP) I found through google. Try changing your search string around

are you using a floppy boot to find the hashes??

The program I'm using imports the SAM file (where the password hashes are stored) and I use a wordlist attack or bruteforce attack to crack the hashes. It's all done through Windows (a Administrator account is required to import the SAM file while in windows [atleast I think so, I run on an admin account and never tried on a limited or power user account]).

do you know what john the ripper is ?? its basicly the same thing as your Sam thingy it uses brute force to crack hashes but no idea how it works

No I haven't, Using google right you can find the program I use, I will not tell you which program it is.

If you are trying to get in to a windows user acount and do not whont any one to know you where there you are going about things the wrong way. It is not that you need to know the password but that you need to have the same password once u are done. What i am saying is if u have the ability to play with the hashs why try to take one and crack it when you can make your own hash overwrite it, do what you have to, and then copy there hash back in once u are done. The secuity falw here is not that u can get the has but rather that you can edit it. This is a popualr method for breaking in to windows acounts when you have physical access to a comp.

Or you know, you can just boot a Linux livecd and ignore all of these Windows administrative permissions.

That is how my method works, it is how you get access to the keys.

*COUGH*

Uses a Rainbow table, which is a database of every possible combination (well not every but enough to decipher a 14 character alphanumeric password) The alternative to the site is downloading a 1.49 GB of rainbow tables, OR you could download the 64 gig version of rainbow tables which have symbols, spaces, along with the alpha numeric tables. (which I'm currently downloading, go internet!).

This information can potentially dangerous, I don't condone an illegal gaining of information.

Oh and I forgot, try out my signature. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the result.

Seems like my password is going to increase to 26 characters now... too bad for anyone trying to guess it...

So... it's either "Cornflake, kick ass hacker" or "You can't guess my passwrd"

No, since its alphanumeric it would be more along the lines of:

"C0rnfl4k3, k1ick 455 h4ck3r" or "Y0u c4n'7 gu3s5 my p45swrd"

It should be "C0rnfl4k3, k1ck 455 h4ck3r", or else it doesn't meet 26 character requirements and it doesn't make sense.
always correcting english mistakes, but can't get something this simple right :D

glad to see people are assuming my life revolves around computers... no one will ever guess my real password Wink

I think its probably more along the lines of "**************************".
