Grabbing Passwords from Windows

Param Singh has posted a nice tutorial how to extract password hashes from a Windows system at SecGuru.com. It’s a nice article describing everything from locating backup copies of the SAM files, booting a live CD to grab the SAM file to sniffing the password hashes off the wire.

It does not include how to crack the password hashes, but I’ve covered that topic several times on this site already.
