Security Basics: RE: How does the Cain and Abel SAM dump works?

["Rivest, Philippe" <PRivest () transforce ca>]

Quick reminder, you can lunch some of those tools remotely with no access to
the system. I belive the pwdump6 or fgdump (something similar) would do this.

Also, if you are local admin DOEST give you access to another's account. If
you get his password you could basically do everything under his name &
authority, make trouble and go free about it.

You need admin privileges to install system services, in which case you
don't need to crack passwords anymore, because you can do anything
anyway.
