ringfinger Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I haven't read up on this in a while and was curious if someone had successfully been able to find a way to brute force a SYSKEY protected 2000/XP password. I have LC5 and I know it warns that it cannot break SYSKEY encrypted passwords. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringfinger Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 I have my reasons ... I have 2 degrees in network security and network tech and when I was in school we learned that SYSKEY hadn't been cracked yet and don't even try it b/c it's impossible (nothing in technology is impossible, look at blowfish, RSA, etc). This was right at the verge of xp being released and 2000 Pro/Server in full swing, and I know XP incorporates SYSKEY encryption as well. Just curious if progress has been made because It would be nice to have a tool to crack it, LC 5 laughs at you. Jcarle, have you seen my other question back in Hardware? Thanks.
