It is a good overview of password cracking but I didn't see that it
addressed anything about strong passphrases.

I think wikipedia did a pretty good job of explaining the various
ways to crack passwords.

This may seem like a silly question but, in many discussions of how
windows password cracking programs work, it seems that the same
small number of password cracking programs are mentioned (e.g.,
John the Ripper,L0phtCrack,).
In order to understand how to protect a windows computer from
password cracking software, it would seem necessary to understand
how the current password cracking programs work. But, aren't there
lots and lots and lots of password cracking programs? There's tens
of thousands of virus programs - is there not a large number of
password cracking programs?
Thanks.
