About MD5: MD5 is an algorithm created in 1991 by Professor Ronald Rivest that is used to create digital signatures. It is intended for use with 32 bit machines and is safer than the MD4 algorithm, which has been broken. MD5 is a one-way hash function, meaning that it takes a message and converts it into a fixed string of digits, also called a message digest. When using a one-way hash function, one can compare a calculated message digest against the message digest that is decrypted with a public key to verify that the message hasn't been tampered with. This comparison is called a "hashcheck."

Download Kali Linux  and burn the ISO to a CD/DVD. Boot Windows machine with the LiveCD . On the boot menu of Kali Linux, select Live (forensic mode) . Kali Linux initialize and when it loads, it will open a terminal window and navigate to the Windows password database file. Almost all versions of windows password is saved in SAM file. This file is usually located under /Windows/System32/config . On your system it may look something like this: /media/hda1 /Windows/System32/config . Below is the screenshot. The SAM database is usually in the /media/name_of_hard_drive/Windows/System32/config The screen shot below lists the SAM database file on my hard drive. The screen shot below lists the SAM database file on my hard drive. Type command chntpw -l SAM  and it will list out all the usernames that are contained on the Windows system. The command gives us a list of usernames on the system. When we have the username we want to modify and we simply run the command chntpw -u “username” SAM In

There are several open source and enterprise software program through which we can access remote system. These software becomes a necessity when you setup a remote server and do not allow direct access to the server, as because of some security measures. PuTTy is one of the major terminal emulator through which we can access a remote server. PuTTy is a free and open-source terminal emulator, serial console and network file transfer application. It supports several network protocols, including SCP, SSH, Telnet and rlogin. Here, I am going to show you how to access Kali Linux through PuTTy . My base computer is running Windows 7 and Kali Linux is installed in a VMWare Player. So we can assume that Kali Linux is installed in a remote machine, as Windows 7 and of Kali Linux is on different network now. Before we access Kali Linux through remote system, we need to make sure that ssh service is already running in Kali Linux. To check the status of ssh service. Open root terminal and type 

Looks like Kali Linux is a great success. Kali Linux is the successor to BackTrack, the much loved Linux Penetration Distro/ Operating System that is aimed at penetration testers and security professionals. Before we dive into our brief review – we thought it would be cool to give a brief history of how Kali Linux came to be. What is the history of Kali Linux and BackTrack? We are all very familiar with Backtrack, which has been around for the last seven years – created and managed by Offensive Security, but what is the history of this famous Linux penetration testing distribution? Much like we trace our ancestors back to Africa, so we trace Kali Linux back to Knoppix! Knoppix was one of the first ever bootable Live Linux Distro’s. Still in existence, Knoppix is a classic distro with a loyal community. Over time the Knoppix project was forked into WHoppix (yes the WH are meant to be capitalized) that was then re-forked into WHAX. WHAX was then re-branded and streamlined into the BackTr
