Cain & Abel – Cain & Abel

Cain & Abel is your average security tool. It has been developed for the recovery of passwords and utilities from a wide variety of sources, and in this respect, the application is meant for a wide variety of computer and tablet users, such as security software vendors, network admins, security professionals, and even professionals in the academia. And while password recovery is its main function, Cain & Abel also covers security vulnerabilities present in the caching mechanisms, authentication methods, and the protocol’s standards.
But note that major software weaknesses (those that need added effort to fix) are not exploited by Cain & Abel. Passwords are recovered from a variety of sources, such as the network, VoIP conversations, Dictionary, Cryptanalysis, and Brute-Force. These functions are enhanced and have become faster in the latest version. This is due to new features, such as Arp Poison Routing (APR). In addition, for all common hashing algorithms, the new version also ships routing protocols authentication monitors and routes extractors, dictionary, and brute-force crackers.
Note that while the developers ensure that the software is not used for unethical purposes, the author is not liable for loss of data. This is something you should consider before installing the software.
