Do you still have a link to buy LC5? We were looking to upgrade but
couldn't find any purchasing info anywhere.

As far as the question at hand goes, I'm quite saddened. LC* was/is
the best cracking program i've used. How Symantec (and/or the
@Stake/l0pht guys) could not continue development is quite simply beyond
me.

For Windows, Cain is probably going to be your best bet...not nearly as
fast though.

List,
As some of you may know, @stake has been bought by
symantec. And if that wasnt bad enough, they are no longer
selling LC5 after the end of this month.
And they have no plans on a replacement product.

In my experience, LC5 was about the best thing for speedy
assessment of the password policy. Sure LC5 will still have
some use for awhile to come, but then what?

I know there are lots of other options, LCP, john, rainbow tables,
and more, but as far as I know, nothing is near as speedy
as LC.

What are your thoughts? Is there something out there as fast or close?

I had enough trouble getting an old junk PC for doing nessus scans on,
so i know
a cluster is out of the question.

Thanks!
Chris
