This software is a password security test tool designed for Windows networks. It enables administrators to identify and address security vulnerabilities by auditing account passwords and identifying insecure ones through optimized brute-force and dictionary attacks.
The software operates on the principle of identifying whether a password can be recovered within a reasonable amount of time, thus classifying them as insecure. Proactive Windows Security Explorer supports multiple methods of obtaining password hashes, including dump files generated by third-party tools like pwdump/pwdump2/pwdump3, binary registry files, memory of remote computers, and domain controllers running Active Directory.
The software is optimized for speed and utilizes brute-force and dictionary attacks on LM and NTLM password hashes. This functionality makes it an ideal choice for network administrators and security professionals who need to identify security leaks and vulnerabilities in their network structure. Overall, Proactive Windows Security Explorer is a valuable addition to any security expert's toolkit.
