Cracking Windows XP Passwords

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Reverse_Engineering/Cracking_Windows_XP_Passwords


The Windows XP passwords are hashed using LM hash and/or NTLM hash. The hashes are stored in c:\windows\system32\config\SAM. The SAM file is encrypted using c:\windows\system32\config\system and is locked when Windows is running. To get the passwords, you need to shutdown Windows, decrypt the SAM file, and then crack the hashes. You can also obtain the hashes using other software that does not require you to turn your computer off. If everything goes well, you'll have the passwords in 15 minutes.
The SKCLONE tool will allow extracting password hashes in PWDUMP format from the live SAM and importing them to other live systems including 64 bit systems, making it a useful tool for migrating local user accounts to 64 bit windows. It does however require you to run the software as the SYSTEM account, since it will try to reach HKLM\SECURITY\SAM in the registry.

Private Address Space RFC 1918

3. Private Address Space

   The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the
   following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets:

     10.0.0.0        -   10.255.255.255  (10/8 prefix)
     172.16.0.0      -   172.31.255.255  (172.16/12 prefix)
     192.168.0.0     -   192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)

   We will refer to the first block as "24-bit block", the second as
   "20-bit block", and to the third as "16-bit" block. Note that (in
   pre-CIDR notation) the first block is nothing but a single class A
   network number, while the second block is a set of 16 contiguous
   class B network numbers, and third block is a set of 256 contiguous
   class C network numbers.

Woes of Apache 1.3 in the 21st Century and mod_auth_vas (fronm Quest)

First stubling block I hit is this:

$ /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -q list
apxs:Error: Sorry, no DSO support for Apache available
apxs:Error: under your platform. Make sure the Apache
apxs:Error: module mod_so is compiled into your server
apxs:Error: binary `/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd'.

This is the first google result which seems to answer my question

 http://www.gjt.org/mlist/gnujsp/msg02831.html

and sure enough there are these lines in apache/src/Configuration file ...

################################################################
# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support
#
# There is experimental support for compiling the Apache core and
# the Apache modules into dynamic shared object (DSO) files for
# maximum runtime flexibility.
#
# The Configure script currently has only limited built-in
# knowledge on how to compile these DSO files because this is
# heavily platform-dependent. The current state of supported and
# explicitly unsupported platforms can be found in the file
# "htdocs/manual/dso.html", under "Supported Platforms".
#
# For other platforms where you want to use the DSO mechanism you
# first have to make sure it supports the pragmatic dlopen()
# system call and then you have to provide the appropriate
# compiler and linker flags below to create the DSO files on your
# particular platform.
#
# The placement of the Apache core into a DSO file is triggered
# by the SHARED_CORE rule below while support for building
# individual Apache Modules as DSO files and loading them under
# runtime without recompilation is triggered by `SharedModule'
# commands. To be able to use the latter one first enable the
# module mod_so (see corresponding `AddModule' command below).
# Then enable the DSO feature for particular modules individually
# by replacing their `AddModule' command with `SharedModule' and
# change the filename extension from `.o' to `.so'.
#
# Sometimes the DSO files need to be linked against other shared
# libraries to explicitly resolve symbols from them when the
# httpd program not already contains references to them. For
# instance when buidling mod_auth_db as a DSO you need to link
# the DSO against the libdb explicity because the Apache kernel
# has no references for this library. But the problem is that
# this "chaining" is not supported on all platforms. Although one
# usually can link a DSO against another DSO without linker
# complains the linkage is not really done on these platforms.
# So, when you receive "unresolved symbol" errors under runtime
# when using the LoadModule directive for a particular module try
# to enable the SHARED_CHAIN rule below.

#CFLAGS_SHLIB=
#LD_SHLIB=
#LDFLAGS_SHLIB=
#LDFLAGS_SHLIB_EXPORT=

Rule SHARED_CORE=default
Rule SHARED_CHAIN=default

from Red Cricket to All Participants:
does it have to WPA2 or will WPA2/WPA Mixed mode work?
from Apu Nahasapeemapetilon (XXXXX) to All Participants:
As I already mentioned WPA2 Personal, not WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode.
from Red Cricket to All Participants:
ok
from Apu Nahasapeemapetilon (XXXXX) to All Participants:
Now, change the password for both the network , make it sure that password should be the same for both the network.
from Red Cricket to All Participants:

We dont have a default password for guest password it is ranndomy created by cisco connect applicatoni.
from Red Cricket to All Participants:
well I am still locked out of the guest access
from Red Cricket to All Participants:
I guess I will have to set the router back to factory defaults and reinstall the cisco con software
from Apu Nahasapeemapetilon (XXXXX) to All Participants:
Click on Adminstration and then Restore it to factory default option over there.
from Red Cricket to All Participants:
yeah I know. I don't have the time to do that right now

How do I verify that sshd is compiled and linked with PAM support.? No really how is this done?  There doesn't appear to be a command line switch like a -V or something like that, that would tell what I need to know.  Luckily I am running Redhat and can look at the SRC RPM's (openssh-server) spec file ...
