Cracking Passwords with Volatility and John: Now With 34.3% Better Video!

Note: After viewing the video myself I find it of horrible quality, it has to be played in fullview mode and it is still fuzzy.  When I uploaded to YouTube the video was much better--- hooray!


As promised I have an  (awesome) video showing how to use Volatility to extract NTLM Windows passwords which can then be cracked by John the Ripper. Please be kind and understanding as this is my first (of many takes) video so I can only get better.. hopefully.

This is nothing new and has been around for, well, a long time. However I just wanted to provide a quick taste of how powerful memory can truly be. I will hopefully show better examples in later videos.

John the Ripper and Volatility are free downloads. Check my previous posting for documentation on how to install Volatility on a Windows system. The site which talks about the Volatility Commands available is here (if you are confused watch the video I mention it there).
