A Study on Password Breaking Tools

Abstract

In this paper, there is brief description of the tool
CHNTPW. CHNTPW is a KALI LINUX tool used to reset
local Windows password that we used to take access over the
Windows system. CHNTPW is a simple tool that usually
works by deleting the SAM file that is existing in the local
system config folder. SAM file is the database file for storing
the password hashes.
On advance research we would be comparing on CHNTPW
with other password breaking tools. The comparisons can be
made based on the different ability of the tools to break or
reset the password available.
