LC5 has pre-hased passwords, I hear. It searches the pre-hashed
table...therefore cracking common or simple password that much faster. I
havent' seen it work tho...I have only seen and used LC4.

I've used Internet Security Scanner from ISS and really like it's

ability to pull users from NT domains and test common passwords, such

as username=password, password=password, etc.



I've considered purchasing the consultant version of l0phtcrack LC5.



Has anyone used LC5 and can anyone compare it to ISS?  



I'm not sure that you can compare the two, really.  Look at 
what L0phtcrack does...it's much, much more than simply 
trying to guess a couple of common passwords.



Also are there

any OpenSource tools that can do these sorts of checks?



Checks?  Hhhmm...not sure.  Password cracking...sure.  John 
the Ripper, or ophcrack 
(http://lasecwww.epfl.ch/~oechslin/projects/ophcrack/index.php
).  Ophcrack is something you should probably look at...
