Ophcrack is an open source Windows password cracking utility that uses rainbow tables to find passwords. It can be run from Windows, Linux or Live CD. The following tutorial explains how to install and boot Ophcrack from a portable USB device. Since the Live CD version (running from a SLAX core) is already available, creating USB Ophcrack is similar to converting any other Live Linux CD to USB.
Tools used to create USB Ophcrack:
- Windows Computer (Windows XP is used here)
- 512 MB or larger portable device (USB stick)
- Ophcrack Live CD and usboph.zip
Creating bootable USB Ophcrack:
- First, create a "New Directory" to house your work
- Download Ophcrack Live CD to the new directory
- Download and extract usboph.zip to the new directory
- Click fixoph.bat and follow the onscreen instructions
- Copy all the files from the Ophcrack directory to your USB device
- From your USB device, click makeboot.bat and follow the instructions to make the drive bootable
- Reboot your PC and set your BIOS boot menu to boot from the USB device
If all goes well, you should be booting from the USB stick into a mini SLAX environment. Ophcrack is launched automatically after boot.
