Examine Network Security
Proactive Password Auditor helps network administrators to examine
the security of their networks by executing an audit of account
passwords. By exposing insecure passwords, Proactive Password Auditor
demonstrates how secure a network is under attack.
Network Security Audit
Proactive Password Auditor examines the security of your network by
attempting to break into the network. It tries common attacks on the
account passwords in an attempt to recover a password of a user account.
Proactive Password Auditor allows carrying out a password audit
within a limited period of time. If it is possible for Proactive
Password Auditor to recover a password within a reasonable time, the
entire network cannot be considered secure.

- Determine how secure your corporate network is
- Test the strength of passwords protecting user accounts
- Recover account passwords
- Perform attacks with brute force, by the dictionary, or with a mask from inside or outside of your network
- Recover up to 95% of passwords in just minutes from the inside with Rainbow attack
How Secure Is Your Network?
A single weak password exposes your entire network to an external
threat. Password hacking is one of the most critical and commonly
exploited network security threats. Network users employ short and
simple passwords that are easy to remember, but are also easy to break.
They often use repeating characters, simple words and names for easier
memorizing. Making them use computer-generated passwords that consist of
random characters will only make the problem more severe, as the users
will write the passwords down on the proverbial yellow stickers. There
is more information available on the issue in the Elcomsoft whitepaper Proactive Is Better than Reactive: Testing Password Safety – a Key to Securing a Corporate Network.
Network administrators are also part of the problem, as they may
forget purging terminated employees, forcing people to change passwords
often, or locking out the users after a certain number of failed login
attempts.
Network Security Policies
Weak passwords are easy to break, while complex passwords are
difficult to memorize. Having an elaborate security policy is the only
way to ensure the security of your network. Does your policy require a
regular password change? Make sure to audit the network after every
change. Did it take Proactive Password Auditor 30 days to break a
password when you performed the last audit? Then examine your network at
least once a month to ensure ongoing security.
Recover Account Passwords
Network administrators can use Proactive Password Auditor to recover
Windows account passwords, too. Proactive Password Auditor analyzes user
password hashes and recovers plain-text passwords, allowing accessing
their accounts, including EFS-encrypted files and folders.
All Features and Benefits
Proactive Password Auditor uses several
basic methods for testing and recovering passwords, including brute
force attack, mask attack, dictionary search, and Rainbow table attack.
The Rainbow attack is particularly effective, as it uses pre-computed
hash tables that allow finding up to 95% of passwords in just minutes
instead of days or weeks. Fortunately, the Rainbow attack cannot be
performed from outside of your network! You’ll need either
administrative access or a dump file exported by Elcomsoft System
Recovery.
Proactive Password Auditor supports off-line recovery of account passwords by analyzing dump files saved by Elcomsoft System Recovery,
local Registry, binary Registry files (SAM and SYSTEM), memory of the
local computer, and memory of remote computers (Domain Controllers),
including ones running Active Directory.
The off-line recovery speed can be greatly enhanced when using Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery.
Thanks to the patent-pending GPU acceleration technology available in
Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery, the recovery using a single PC
is up to 50 times faster as compared to CPU-only mode and other
password-recovery applications. Adding more computers increases the
recovery speed linearly with zero scalability overhead.
If you are interested in purchasing thelicense to audit more than 2500 user accounts, please contact us for quote.
Please note that the licenses are not”cumulative”. That means that,
for example, if you purchase twolicenses for 20 accounts each, you still
will not be able to audit 40 accounts– instead, you should purchase
one 100-accounts license. To be able to audit600 accounts, you should
get the 2500-accounts license (but not one license on500 accounts plus
another one for 100 accounts), and vice versa.
