Guys, I caught a student using that program Cain & Abel trying to crack passwords.
I am unfamiliar with this program, I have no clue what he was doing but when I asked him what he thought he was doing, he said he was in fact cracking passwords with the program.... I need to protect the system, but I need to know the program.
He was cracking a PHPBB 2.0.6 forum. I did notify the web admin and advised him to tell his users that if there is any suspicious activity with passwords to contact me, and I explained what happened.
Now luckily I tested some hashes into that cracker up there, and no go so I know nobody would use that, or if they did it won't work.
But are there any good online MD5 crackers? Are their any which you can download and use right off the bat?

Try to crack that as it is my password, email me what you find, and the program/link to what you used. I need to block more sites apparently.
Thank you for all who can help me and my problem. Oh and yes the student was banned from the computers.
narc!
how dare you ban someone whos exploring. youre supposed to be a teacher and are supposed to be expanding his horizons not suppressing them. just because you dont know shit about computers doesnt mean you have to stop someone else from learning

I would've been cool with it if it would have been his own forum, or a buddies as long as they knew what he was doing.
He went on a random person's board, tried to get an admin account without telling them. They used school property to do that, and is simply NOT permitted in my book. I don't care if he does it from his house though.
you probably made the right decision to be mad, but kicking him out of tech classes (banning from computers)?
if he tries getting a job later in life and that comes up, he probably just lost a job opprotunity.. and, at least in my school, you need at least 3 technology credits to pass.. doesn't that mean he can't pass?... that's a little servere, in my book anyway..
im a bit confused why you kicked the kid out of class for trying to crack a password, but your asking others who you dont even know to crack the same damn password. of course the md5 hash is gonna be the same as the password. stop trying to get us to hack for you even tho u made up a somewhat logical story.
They do exist indeed, but this guy's obviously trying to get us to crack his md5 password. Atleast he was more creative than the usualy neophyte's cry of "PLZ HELP ME HACK THIS PW"... I'll give him that.
Im on the project too, just started out a day ago. Anyone who wants to join is very welcomed and all the ops are very kool. Even if youre never going to use it there is no sense on wasting that computer power, come and help us out to make the biggest rainbow table ever.
i have a 160 gig drive and a high speed connection i would be willing to help out with this project but i need help porting someting to windows so i will trade if anyone is interested contact me for specifics. by the way what i want ported will hel this to be the fastest cracker ever.
