Re: Scanning for blank admin passwords on a windows box

Hi,

I completely agree with Anders about userinfo. The only problem is that this
tool messes up a bit on a target with a "large" (>20-30) number of users:
some weak account are not detected (blanck password, or equal to username).
So it's better to double check with another tool like the one Erwin (van der
Zwan) named.

Hope this helped,

Olivier
