1 00:00:02,050 --> 00:00:07,570 Before Starting off with the practical lectures, let's get an overview of how passwords are stored. 2 00:00:10,610 --> 00:00:14,870 When you set or change a password window, generate a hash and empty. 3 00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:21,530 Hash hashes are stored in security accounts manager database, commonly known as Sam or Sam file. 4 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:27,500 The hashes are irreversible and you cannot obtain password directly from a hash. 5 00:00:28,390 --> 00:00:34,210 So when logging in, when a user enters passwords, windows, computers, hash, and then compare this 6 00:00:34,210 --> 00:00:36,430 hash with the entry in the same file. 7 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,280 And if both hashes are equal, the user is logged in. 8 00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:49,750 So the tools that we are going to study in this section, when you play this file to crack or bypass 9 00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:50,710 the passwords.
