I'm pentesting for a class in Kali Linux, cracking a Windows 7 password. I mounted the windows' hard drive in Kali, ran PWDUMP7 and got the hashes saved on the desktop. It's only showing some of the users, but not any that I created for testing...that's another issue by itself. The default system admin 'IEUser' should at least work, right?
It appears to not even run, and using "Show" even says that it wasn't cracked. I have absolutely no idea what's going on with this, and nobody else seems to have this problem that I can see...What am I missing?
As best as i can figure, you are mistaken about what you expect. John finished quickly because it successfully cracked the password you requested. The rest is just error in using john --show as far as i can tell. I repeated your steps as follows:
We indeed see it matches our original input in hash.txt. Now we will show all cracked passwords for john in the format of nt using our pot file (the record john keeps of cracked passwords during sessions)
Any recommendations on good and widely used open-source lossless audio CD ripper for Windows?I have plenty of original CDs that I want to throw away, but at least get the original quality song out of it first. Spotify is just not enough for my Hi-fi system :D
After that you can convert to any format you like. For quality vs size, I'd recommend AAC over MP3, AAC can be lossy or lossless, just like FLAC, but has wider adoption for 'direct' playback from many devices.
It handles Flac and quite a few other codecs with different back ends, does accurate rips and checks the rips against a DB. Its portableish (needs .net but no install) - so testing to see if it meets your needs would be pretty painless.
I'm running Kali Linux which already has "John" installed. Its been awhile since I found a urge to get back into the swing of things with Kali and all of its toys.. tools If I wanted to bypass the login screen on a more modern version of windows say windows 7 or 8 could I somehow make "John" a live boot and take care of that. Or would something else be suggested? Anything helps!
p.s. if anyone with the skill level is willing to mentor or teach a few things about Kali please message me. Being completely honesty I'm kinda looking for a partner in crime. Speaking strictly metaphorically now.....
well the whole idea is I'm trying to setup a metasploit session but social engineering tactics have not been working. I just need to get something installed on the windows os (hate windows personally..) so I can drop a payload or establish a backdoor. If it helps the user is on my same network.
Like the subject says, i would like to know what the best cd ripper to aiff for a pc is. Is there an aiff equivalent of eac? I am running a pc now but will move to a mac shortly, i would like to start ripping now.
Thanks for the quick reply. I knew that Itunes can do aiff in windows. I wasnt sure if there was something better out there or not. I am looking at eac and i can not find any setting that would indicate that it can do aiff, am i missing something?
Yes - I am really interested in this subject. I see a lot of information on this site regarding bit perfect et al, but I see two main issues where your PC (or MAC) is central. 1. Getting the rip bit perfect onto your hard drive. 2. Getting bit perfect data from your hard drive to your DAC (or whatever you are using)
So, if I use Itunes, and use the AIFF import option (with error correction), can I get the rip perfect onto my hard drive on my Vista based PC, or is it not that simple? I see that Chris mentions using iTunesEncode, but is this really necessary. Can't I just use ITunes and get the rip perfect, or do I need these extra add ons to enable me to get my rips perfect.

I highly suggest you get DBPoweramp Music Converter which has a ripping program. You install the plugins and you can rip to and convert to so many lossless formats. Use WAV and Flac and Ape and stay away from Itunes and all of it's BS.
HHH03, I agree with you that this makes no sense and I question your source. My Threadrippers are just fine on W10 22H2 and I expect them to be when I upgrade to W11. I went to MS and found what you did but I went here an all is OK. The Threadrippers that do not support TPM (e.g. 1950X) are not there but others are. This can be worked around using Rufus to create the install media. As soon as I get my Windows Live account straightened out I will comment on the MS article. Enjoy, John.
Was speaking to a MS Tech today with regard to an unrelated issue, he doesn't know why the earlier Threadrippers have been dropped just that they have. I asked if it could possibly be TPM related - he did not know. On that note I have a discrete TPM coming in a couple of days and will try installing 22H2 with that and see if it sorts out all of the certification errors I have been receiving - maybe this is not a Microsoft issue but some form of fault with TPM on the Threadrippers? What I do know is that according to ASUS my Zenith Extreme Alpha has been Windows 11 compatible for 2 BIOS versions.
My ASRock X399 Taichi has supported from the beginning Windows 11 with manual changes in BIOS (Secure Boot, fTPM, CSM) to upgrade via Windows Update and getting the "OK" of PC Health Check , so no issues at this point.
But the contempt towards X399 cannot be more offensive, only ASUS for Zenith Extreme and Zenith Extreme Alpha has officially published BIOS with AGESA SummitPI-SP3r2 1.1.0.5 to mitigate security flaws, nothing for the rest of their X399 and same behavior in ASRock, MSI and Gigabyte.
To get my BIOS with AGESA 1.1.0.5 I had to contact AMD and they confirmed that ASRock had already received it. After a technical support request (I want to make it clear that I feel lucky for ASRock's technical support, supreme attitude!) they attached the BIOS v3.94 that has not officially published in the response, after flash the disappointment was even greater when I verified that v3.94 was released in January 2022. This happened to me in March 2023.
2. the REAL issue was and is that right off the bat 1st gen tr were not deemed supported for whatever reason forcing some to buy new cpus, which to be honest there was no need considering myself and others were having to replace tr cpus every 3 months due to getting red led of death ( and this was running out of box default bios settings NO overclocks mind you), amd blamed board and other hardware when it is and was clearly poor quality amd product. i finally gave up on amd, x399 tr was my first ever experience with amd having always been with intel nvidia ( since PII days) and i can say it was horrible. i have since gone back to intel and will NEVER touch another amd product EVER again when i build a new pc. my first experince with amd is that amd products are faulty pieces of junk that is priced to high for the products lifespan.
with that said, if you want win 11 just get an intel x299 for hedt and i only say that because i have built several x299 systems now including my personal one with different cpusgoing back to release of x299 and ALL of them have passed win 11 check but same cant be said for amd in regards to compatibility but again why would you want to upgrade an operating system in a system that is only going to fail in 3 months or so like an amd system will?
Sorry for late reply but Threadripper 1950x and other Threadrippers from TR 19x0 series DO support TPM module, but it has to be manually enabled in BIOS. Its embedded to the CPU.
Then and only then it will show up as available for BIOS and then it has to be enabled yet again, to be available for OS.
I tested this myself on AsRock x399M Taichi board, but I did not raised this as an issue, but apparently there is a misconception about these CPUs.
Yes you can enable TPM through BIOS but either way Microsoft dropped them from Windows 11 support, I also believe that there were problems with the TPM built into Thread rippers and a lot of the AMD desktop CPUs which is why there have been so many BIOS updates related to it, so while you may have internal TPM there is no guarantee without BIOS updates to fix said issues that your TPM is fully operable, even with those fixes on my 2950x I have gone to a discrete TPU as the internal to CPU ones always seem to have issues popping up.
I have a 2950X with the Zenith Alpha Extreme motherboard and my user experience of Windows 11 is so far terrible. It is filled with bugs and is extremely laggy. I haven't felt these issues since back in the Windows 95-days. I've reverted back to Windows 10 several times just because of the immaturity of the OS, but recently decided to give it another go. Still the same terrible experience. It feels like I'm running a 10 year old computer.
2.2 Do NOT! iinstall any of the ASUS tools, Aura, Fan Expert or anything else badged ASUS, some stuff will be installed via Windows Store for audio - that's O.K but no Armory crate, no Fan Expert and the like.
2.4 If you need fan control check out a piece of software called "fan control" with the ASUS WMI plugin, it's not perfect yet but does do the job, you will end up with a couple of fans that don't exist but bare in mind the author is working in the dark with no support.
