UDC

UDC is a cool application that helps you test how good your data-protection systems are. It also gives you ways to store passwords safely. So, if you've ever forgotten a password, UDC can help you recover it using hash values. This means if you forget your Windows NT password, for example, UDC has your back!

Password Recovery Made Easy

One of the neat things about UDC is that it lets users keep an eye on changes in certain folders or groups of files. This is super helpful for organizations trying to check their local security level. For instance, if you're managing an email server, UDC can spot weak passwords in the system.

For Developers Too!

If you're a developer, you'll find UDC really useful for diagnosing your own security services or testing out new hash algorithms. Plus, it can work as a speedy authorization component in server-side applications.

Key Features of UDC

Here are some key features:

• Mask Attack: Crack around 4000 composite Windows NT passwords in just 15 minutes! That’s over 1 million passwords per second on a Celeron-466.


• Recover Windows passwords with more than one million dictionary words per second.


• A Hybrid Attack that works at the same speed as brute force—over 1.5 million passwords per second while cracking Windows NT password (Unicode MD4).


• The new Typing-Mistake Correction mode lets you recover your forgotten passwords in seconds!


• An updated user interface makes it easy to use (check out the screenshots!).


• This unique cryptanalytic tool supports many hash functions like MD (2, 4, 5), NTLM (v1, v2), and SHA (160 - 512).


• You can handle unlimited hash values and password lengths!


• An Open API allows you to use UDC as part of your own products or enhance it with your own algorithms.


• The power of real-time distributed attacks with an automatic local network configurator.


• This isn’t just another Windows password cracker; it's a universal cryptanalytic tool!

Limitations to Keep in Mind

Here are some limitations:

• You’ll see a nag screen when using it.


• The unregistered version can't delete single user hashes; it only clears everything at once.


• If you're using distributed mode, each session is limited to two minutes unless you're registered.


• The full version differs from the demo mainly due to the NewUDC.dll, which is essential for all features to work properly.
