Penetration Testing: Re: Password cracking / recovery Lotus Notes R6

[thomas springer <tuevsec () gmx net>]

try to get id-files from your notes-server. they are often left on the 
server. have a look after the root-id (server.id) as well.
if you have id's, ask the employees for the initial password of the 
notes-id's - most of the time they use only one password or 
password-scheme company-wide, and the id's hanging around on the server 
still use this password.
install a notes-client and try, if you got valid passwords for your id's 
- you should be able to access every database with an administrator's 
notes.id.
if you can't get the password for the notes.id-files, give john the 
ripper a try - there's a brandnew patch for revovering 
notes.id-passwords, have a look on john's mailinglist-archive for more 
info on cracking notes.id with john.
