Isn't this logic flawed with the 'create a named pipe from something with system level privileges'? You don't need to hack a box you're on if you already have system level privileges.

A much easier method is to just use a registry blanker. It's how I got into all my dad's stuff after he died.

Should have been more clear (was saying Create because its the name of the win32 API C function). You don't actually create a named pipe, instead use an existing named pipe, usually something like \\.\pipe\x\IpHlpSvc.log

Yea so many windows exploits to crack a password. Just plain awful security.

Now I'll remind refer to the time when I gave antisec members a user account on my Linux VPS and asked them try to crack root.

or burn ophcrack for windows to a cd and boot your system from that disc.

you basically hit a button and it finds the passwords.

If the password is secure, it will take too long to bruteforce since a dictionary attack will fail. I suppose you could use rainbow tables, but even that takes a while and you'll need to lug around a 1TB+ external drive. Its instant if you just use a password remover app.

Of course, all of this is if you have physical access or local admin access to the box. Properly secured boxes are a bit more difficult to compromise.

use hashcat noobs

shift + right click an executable for admin options. Security through obscurity, huzzah.

I prefer this for file/local recoveries because of for its ridiculously simple UI and local grid support. I grew up on command line, but I like a shiny UI to get around menial tasks.
