Piggy is yet another tool for performing online password guessing against Microsoft SQL servers.
It supports scanning multiple servers using a dictionary file or a file with predefined accounts (username and password combinations).

It’s a pretty simple tool and has a Win32 binary verson - it is a command line tool however.

This Phenoelit tool called ObiWaN is written to carry out brute force security testing on Webservers.
The idea behind this is webservers with simple challenge-response authentication mechanism mostly have no switches to set up intruder lockout or delay timings for wrong passwords. In fact this is the point to start from. Every user with a [...]

Ah another trojan, this time targeting MSN Live logins for. The trojan has been made public by some kind citizen calling himself “Our Godfather” on the BitTorrent network.
The sad thing is…I guess it works and hundreds of people will have installed it.

Malware designed to steal users’ Windows Live Messenger password has been released onto the [...]

THC-Hydra rocks, it’s pretty much the most up to date and currently developed password brute forcing tool around at the moment.
It supports a LOT of services and protocols too.
Number one of the biggest security holes are passwords, as every password security study shows. Hydra is a parallelized login cracker which supports numerous protocols to attack. [...]

The famous Phenoelit Default Password List has been updated, it’s been quite some time since an update.

Medusa is intended to be a speedy, massively parallel, modular, login brute-forcer. The goal is to support as many services which allow remote authentication as possible. The author considers following items as some of the key features of this application:

Thread-based parallel testing. Brute-force testing can be performed against multiple hosts, users or passwords concurrently.
Flexible user [...]

Wyd is a neat tool I found recently for Password Profiling.
In current IT security environments, files and services are often password protected. In certain situation it is required to get access to files and/or data even when they are protected and the password is unknown.

wyd.pl was born out of those two of situations:

A penetration test [...]

I’ve tried out a few of these visual recognition password technique things, and to tell you the truth they didn’t work for me, not at all.
I clicked the requisite 3-4 spots on the image, and remembered them, but when I tried to login it wouldn’t accept it.

A password that uses images instead of numbers could [...]
