Cain Abel

Cain Abel is a program for Windows which assists you in recovering forgotten or lost passwords for entering the operating system, connecting to the network and more. Thanks to this utility, you are able to decode the security keys stored in encrypted form. It is also possible to scan traffic and intercept data.

Recover passwords

Please note that you need to install WinPcap to use the software solution. The next step is to run the application and select the type of password. You have the ability to recover login data for entering the computer, authorization on websites, accessing databases and email inboxes.

The principle of operation is based on utilizing rainbow tables and brute force techniques. The decryption time depends on the complexity and length of the target password. After the process finishes, you are able to copy the found keys to the clipboard or export them to a text file. The function of sorting search results is also supported.

Network analysis

Another advantage of using this tool is the possibility to intercept network traffic. It is possible to work with both wired and wireless setups. All you need to do is pick the desired adapter and start the scanning procedure. You can use the built-in analyzer to view and replace the contents of data packets.
