CPR E 532 Lab 3

Learning Goal: I’m working on a cyber security exercise and need support to help me learn.

Using your Kali machine:

1. Get the password files from bones using firefox (with proxy). The URL is
bones-pub.ece.iastate.edu/passwords.tar.
2. Store the file on the disk (it will be put in the Downloads directory)
3. Move the file into your home directory
4. Untar the file (tar –xvf passwords.tar )
5. You should end up with two unix password files (passwd1, passwd2) and one encrypted SAM (config
directory).
PART 1 (Crack UNIX passwords)
1. Use john or any other unix password cracking software to find the passwords in the two password files:
passwd1, passwd2
PART 2 (crack Windows XP passwords)
.
1. You need to download a table to use ophcrack. From the web browser on your kali box go to:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ophcrack/files/tab…
2. Uncompress the zip file and then delete the .zip file
3. Run ophcrack (you will need to load the table the first time you run it) Note: you select the directory the
table was stored and click install.
4. Load the encrypted SAM file from the directory “config”.
