MHW is the first tool in an upcoming suite of software. This software will allow you to check the strength of OS X passwords on OSX server or personal workstation or any other DES encrypted password files.
MHW consists of four tools:
1) Generator: A fast passwords list generator. It is capable of generating an 81 million word dictionary (85655680 characters) in less than 27 sec.
2) Gecos-Read: A simple module that parses a standard UNIX passwd file and extracts structured information from it.
3) Wordlist Cleaner: A dictionary cleaner, it allows to remove duplicated entries or even select a simple text file to create a dictionary
4) Cracker: The fastest password cracker ever made on MacOS with many features such as session recovery, three levels of CPU usage.
Two types of attacks are possible: brute force and dictionary. The cracker is able to read wordlists up to 2 GB.
The cracker runs at the speed of 27221 passwords/second on PowerBook G4 on OS X and 66415 passwords/second on dual G4 800mhz on OS 9.2.
MHW is dedicated to any users or administrators who want to check the resistance of their password OSX or any other system using DES encryption.
MHW is the fastest ever made and the first password cracker created for OS 9 and OS X in a single version. This version includes in "goodies" the source code for an exploit known as ?malvolence? (dump passwd to a text file).
