Elcomsoft Proactive Password Auditor Unlimited 2.08.64 Multilingual

Proactive Password Auditor 通过对帐户密码进行审计来帮助网络管理员检查其网络的安全性。通过暴露不安全的密码，Proactive Password Auditor 展示了网络受到攻击的安全程度。

Network Security Audit
Proactive Password Auditor 通过尝试闯入网络来检查网络的安全性。它尝试对帐户密码进行常见攻击，以尝试恢复用户帐户的密码。

Proactive Password Auditor 允许在有限的时间内执行密码审计。如果 Proactive Password Auditor 可以在合理的时间内恢复密码，则不能认为整个网络是安全的。

您的网络有多安全？
单个弱密码会使您的整个网络暴露在外部威胁之下。密码黑客攻击是最严重和最常被利用的网络安全威胁之一。网络用户使用容易记住但也容易破解的简短密码。他们经常使用重复的字符、简单的单词和名称，以便于记忆。让他们使用由随机字符组成的计算机生成的密码只会使问题更加严重，因为用户会将密码写在众所周知的黄色贴纸上。Elcomsoft 的白皮书“主动胜过被动：测试密码安全——保护企业网络的关键”中提供了有关该问题的更多信息。

网络管理员也是问题的一部分，因为他们可能忘记清除被解雇的员工，强迫人们经常更改密码，或者在登录尝试失败一定次数后锁定用户。

网络安全策略
弱密码容易破解，复杂密码难记。制定详细的安全策略是确保网络安全的唯一方法。您的政策是否需要定期更改密码？确保在每次更改后审核网络。当您执行上次审核时，Proactive Password Auditor 是否需要 30 天才能破解密码？然后每月至少检查一次您的网络，以确保持续的安全性。

恢复帐户密码
网络管理员也可以使用 Proactive Password Auditor 来恢复 Windows 帐户密码。Proactive Password Auditor 分析用户密码哈希并恢复纯文本密码，允许访问他们的帐户，包括 EFS 加密的文件和文件夹。

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.

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.
