| Hello List,

| I am cracking a password file for a client, and have a copy of the

|
| After some research, I found that you can use PWDUMP2 to actually
export the

with
| John (even if syskey is used after SP2). However, in order for PWDUMP to
| work, you have to run it as an administrator from the DC itself, where it
| injects its own .dll into the lsass.exe process, which I no longer have
| access to. My question is this:
|
| Does anyone know if there is a way to extract the user/pw information from
| the NTDS.DIT file (rather than from lsass.exe on the server) into a hashed
| file that I can then crack with John?
|
| If not, does anyone have any other suggestions on what I can do with this
| NTDS.DIT file to crack it?
|
| Thanks in Advance,
|
