2. The first son was Cain and he was a farmer. The next son was Abel who was a shepherd. When it was time to offer sacrifices to God, Cain brought fruit from the ground and Abel brought the fat portions from some of the firstborn. God favored Abel’s sacrifice, but He didn’t extend that same grace to Cain.
3. There is no version of Cain & Abel for Mac but,there is another program perfect for Hacking and Mac version is available called 'Wire-Shark' Here is the Link of the program.

Introduction

According to the official website, Cain & Abel is a password recovery tool for Microsoft Operating Systems. It allows easy recovery of various kinds of passwords by sniffing the network, cracking encrypted passwords using Dictionary, Brute-Force and Cryptanalysis attacks, recording VoIP conversations, decoding scrambled passwords, recovering wireless network keys, revealing password boxes, uncovering cached passwords and analyzing routing protocols.

The latest version is faster and contains a lot of new features like APR (ARP Poison Routing) which enables sniffing on switched LANs and Man-in-the-Middle attacks. The sniffer in this version can also analyze encrypted protocols such as SSH-1 and HTTPS and contains filters to capture credentials from a wide range of authentication mechanisms. The new version also ships routing protocols authentication monitors and routes extractors, dictionary and brute-force crackers for all common hashing algorithms and for several specific authentications, password/hash calculators, cryptanalysis attacks, password decoders and some not so common utilities related to network and system security.

Cain & Abel is a Freeware software in the category Security developed by Cain & Abel. It was checked for updates 94 times by the users of our client application UpdateStar during the last month. The latest version of Cain & Abel is 4.9.56, released on. It was initially added to our database on. Cain & Abel is a brute force software used for recovery of passwords on the Windows platform. Essentially, this is a utility tool for the recovery of the password, and this is done with great ease. Other than brute force, the software deploys other techniques to ensure you get your passwords back. Aircrack-ng 1.2.

Cain’s Features

Programs Like Cain And Abel For Mac

Here’s a list of all of Cain’s features that make it a great tool for network penetration testing:

Related Definitions

MAC: (from Wikipedia) “A Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment. MAC addresses are used for numerous network technologies and most IEEE 802 network technologies, including Ethernet. Logically, MAC addresses are used in the Media Access Control protocol sub-layer of the OSI reference model.

MAC addresses are most often assigned by the manufacturer of a network interface card (NIC) and are stored in its hardware, the card’s read-only memory, or some other firmware mechanism. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer’s registered identification number and may be referred to as the burned-in address. It may also be known as an Ethernet hardware address (EHA), hardware address or physical address. A network node may have multiple NICs and will then have one unique MAC address per NIC.”

Sniffing: (fromWikipedia) “A packet analyzer (also known as a network analyzer, protocol analyzer or packet sniffer, or for particular types of networks, an Ethernet sniffer or wireless sniffer) is a computer program or a piece of computer hardware that can intercept and log traffic passing over a digital network or part of a network. As data streams flow across the network, the sniffer captures each packet and, if needed, decodes the packet’s raw data, showing the values of various fields in the packet, and analyzes its content according to the appropriate RFC or other specifications.”

ARP(from Wikipedia) “Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a telecommunications protocol used for resolution of network layer addresses into link layer addresses, a critical function in multiple-access networks. ARP was defined by RFC 826 in 1982. It is Internet Standard STD 37. It is also the name of the program for manipulating these addresses in most operating systems.”

Usage

Now after launching the application, we have to configure it to use appropriate network card.If you have multiple network cards, it’s better to know the MAC address of the network card that you will use for the sniffer.To get the MAC address of your network interface card, do the following:

1- Open CMD prompt.
/p>

2- Write the following command “ipconfig /all”.

3- Determine the MAC address of the desired Ethernet adapters, write it on Notepad,and then use this information to help determine which NIC to select in the Cain application.

Now clickConfigure on the main menu. It will open the configuration dialog box where you can select the desired network interface card.

Now let’s go through the configuration dialog tabs and take a brief look at most of them:

Sniffer Tab:

This tab allows us to specify which Ethernet interface card we will use for sniffing.

ARP Tab:

This tab allows us to configure ARP poison routing to perform ARP poisoning attack, which tricks the victim’s computer by impersonating other devices to get all traffic that belongs to that device, which is usually the router or an important server.

Filters and Ports Tab:

This tab has the most standard services with their default port running on.You can change the port by right-clicking on the service whose port you want to change and then enabling or disabling it.

Cain’s sniffer filters and application protocol TCP/UDP port.

HTTP Fields Tab:

There are some features of Cain that parse information from web pages viewed by the victim such as LSA Secrets dumper, HTTP Sniffer and ARP-HTTPS,so the more fields you add to the username and passwords fields, the more you capture HTTP usernames and passwords from HTTP and HTTPS requests. Here is an example:

The following cookie uses the fields “logonusername=” and “userpassword=” for authentication purposes. If you don’t include these two fields in the list, the sniffer will not extract relative credentials.

GET /mail/Login?domain=xxxxxx.xx&style=default&plain=0 HTTP/1.1

Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/msword, application/x-shockwave-flash, */*

Referer: http://xxx.xxxxxxx.xx/xxxxx/xxxx

Accept-Language: it

Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; (R1 1.3); .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

Host: xxx.xxxxxx.xx

Connection: Keep-Alive

Cookie: ss=1; logonusername=user@xxxxxx.xx; ss=1; srclng=it; srcdmn=it; srctrg=_blank; srcbld=y; srcauto=on; srcclp=on; srcsct=web; userpassword=password; video=c1; TEMPLATE=default;

Traceroute Tab:

Traceroute is a technique to determine the path between two points by simply counting how many hops the packet will take from the source machine to reach the destination machine. Cain also adds more functionality that allows hostname resolution, Net mask resolution, and Whois information gathering.

Certificate Spoofing Tab:

This tab will allow Certificate spoofing.From Wikipedia:

Cain And Abel For Mac

“In cryptography, a public key certificate (also known as a digital certificate or identity certificate) is an electronic document that uses a digital signature to bind a public key with an identity — information such as the name of a person or an organization, their address, and so forth. The certificate can be used to verify that a public key belongs to an individual.

In a typical public key infrastructure (PKI) scheme, the signature will be of a certificate authority (CA). In a web of trust scheme, the signature is of either the user (a self-signed certificate) or other users (“endorsements”). In either case, the signatures on a certificate are attestations by the certificate signer that the identity information and the public key belong together.”

Cain And Abel Mac Address Scanning

We can simply think of it as some sort of data (cipher suites & Public key and some other information about the owner of the certificate) that has information about the destination server and is encrypted by trusted companies (CA) that are authorized for creating these types of data.The server sends its own certificate to the client application to make sure it’s talking to the right server.

Certificate Collector Tab:

This tab will collect all certificates back and forth between servers and clients by setting proxy IPs and ports that listen to it.

Challenge Spoofing Tab:

Here you can set the custom challenge value to rewrite into NTLM authentications packets. This feature can be enabled quickly from Cain’s toolbar and must be used with APR. A fixed challenge enables cracking of NTLM hashes captured on the network by means of Rainbow Tables.

Password Cracking

Now it’s time to speak about the cracker tab,the most important feature of Cain.When Cain captures some LM and NTLM hashes or any kind of passwords for any supported protocols, Cain sends them automatically to the Cracker tab.We will import a local SAM file just for demonstration purposes to illustrate this point.Here is how to import the SAM file:

Here are the 4 NTLM and LM hashes which will appear like the following image:

And here you will find all possible password techniques in the following image:

As you can see from the previous image, there are various types of techniques that are very effective in password cracking.We will look at each of their definitions.

Dictionary attack:

From Wikipedia: “A dictionary attack uses a targeted technique of successively trying all the words in an exhaustive list called a dictionary (from a pre-arranged list of values). In contrast with a brute force attack, where a large proportion key space is searched systematically, a dictionary attack tries only those possibilities which are most likely to succeed, typically derived from a list of words for example a dictionary (hence the phrase dictionary attack). Generally, dictionary attacks succeed because many people have a tendency to choose passwords which are short (7 characters or fewer), single words found in dictionaries or simple, easily predicted variations on words, such as appending a digit. However these are easy to defeat. Adding a single random character in the middle can make dictionary attacks untenable.”

Brute forcing attack:

From Wikipedia: “In cryptography, a brute-force attack, or exhaustive key search, is a cryptanalytic attack that can, in theory, be used against any encrypted data (except for data encrypted in an information-theoretically secure manner). Such an attack might be utilized when it is not possible to take advantage of other weaknesses in an encryption system (if any exist) that would make the task easier. It consists of systematically checking all possible keys until the correct key is found. In the worst case, this would involve traversing the entire search space.

The key length used in the cipher determines the practical feasibility of performing a brute-force attack, with longer keys exponentially more difficult to crack than shorter ones. A cipher with a key length of N bits can be broken in a worst-case time proportional to 2N and an average time of half that. Brute-force attacks can be made less effective by obfuscating the data to be encoded, something that makes it more difficult for an attacker to recognize when he/she has cracked the code. One of the measures of the strength of an encryption system is how long it would theoretically take an attacker to mount a successful brute-force attack against it.”

Cryptanalysis attack (Using Rainbow Table):

From Wikipedia: “A rainbow table is a precomputed table for reversing cryptographic hash functions, usually for cracking password hashes. Tables are usually used in recovering the plain text password, up to a certain length consisting of a limited set of characters. It is a practical example of a space-time tradeoff, using more computer processing time at the cost of less storage when calculating a hash on every attempt, or less processing time and more storage when compared to a simple lookup table with one entry per hash. Use of a key derivation function that employ a salt makes this attack infeasible. Rainbow tables are a refinement of an earlier, simpler algorithm by Martin Hellman.”

How To Make A Rainbow Table?

There are many tools that create a rainbow table and there are many rainbow tables already available on the internet.Fortunately, Cain comes with a tool called winrtgen, which is located in its own folder in the installation.

You will need to choose ahash algorithm, minimum andmaximum length of password, and finally the charset that the password will use.Then press OK.

Conclusion

Cain and Abel is a powerful tool that does a great job in password cracking. It can crack almost all kinds of passwords, and it’s usually just a matter of time before you get it.

If you’re trying to use the internet but you’ve got no data, then you’ll need to connect to a wireless network. However, not everyone has access to wifi at their home or when they’re out in public.

One way that you can get access to a wifi router is by hacking into it and getting it’s password. Doing this you can gain access to the internet, but you have to know how to do this properly. But how exactly do you do this? Well, let’s look at how it can be done.

How to Hack Wifi Passwords

If you’re trying to hack into a wifi network, then you’ll need to be able to gain access to it’s password. The best way for you to do this if you haven’t accessed this network before it by using a cracking software, like Cain and Abel. This can help you gain access to another wifi network by cracking their password hashes.

However, if you’ve already accessed a wifi network before, then this is going to be much easier for you. So, let’s start with how to find the password of a wifi router that you’ve already logged into before. Then, we’ll look at hacking into a router you’ve not accessed before.

How to Hack Wifi You’ve Already Signed Into

If you’ve already signed into a wifi router in the past, then this is going to make it much easier for you to hack into the network again. This is because you can see the wifi password by simply using the command function.

Cain And Abel For Mac

The first thing that you’re going to want to do is to get the wifi password from your past connections. This can allow you to log into the wifi very easily, just by entering the name or SSID of the router.

If you’re on a Mac, then you’ll want to go ahead and open Terminal. You can do this via the Finder. Then, all you’ll want to do is enter this into terminal;
