The following tutorial explains how to install and boot Ophcrack from a portable USB device. It can be run from Windows, Linux or Live CD. This is a fake to fish e-mails.Ophcrack is an open source Windows password cracking utility that uses rainbow tables to find passwords. In summary, if you need minimalistic and fast XP, MicroXP is a very good candidate. The virtual machine requirements are minimal – a dynamic 300 MB disk and 64 MB of RAM.Īfter the installation of MicroXP you have to add Virtual Box Guest Additions (~200 KB) to share directories and not to struggle with the mouse, and then add a RDP client (it can be transferred to the VM via the shared folders). In VirtualBox on Mac Air the installation lasts five minutes and the already installed system boots in 10 seconds or less. The distribution ISO takes around ~100 MB, and when installed ~250.
This is a very stripped-down version of XP SP3. A virtual machine hosting standard Windows usually takes a few gigabytes minimum and boots considerably slow. This is a good solution but with a drawback. What do Linux and Mac users have to do? Install Windows in a virtual machine and run RDP in there. Indeed, there are RDP clients available for Linux and Mac, but it doesn’t help much because without that encrypted channel it just doesn’t have any meaning. It becomes complicated if the workstation is not Windows. You just go to a web site and logon, and then an ActiveX component gets started from the page, installs and runs everything required. Not a problem when a client workstation runs Windows. When that software is up and running, any application (telnet/ssh, ftp, radmin etc), including RDP client (mstsc.exe), might access to the remote network. To establish such connection, special software must be installed on a client workstation to create an encrypted tunnel between the workstation and the remote network. The problem – a need to connect to a remote network via RDP.
