Most encrypted passwords are breakable using this program via Dictionary, Brute-Force and Cryptanalysis attacks. Decrypting scrambled passwords or wireless network keys is not a challenge either. Besides the ability to record VoIP conversations, the application also features the possibility to analyze route protocols.
Cain & Abel is made of two major components: the first one, Cain, is the frontend application that recovers passwords and the password sniffing part; the second one, Abel, is a Windows NT service that requires to be installed (locally or remotely) and has the role of scrambling the traffic inside the network, for additional protection.
The program doesn�t seek to impress through looks, which is why the user interface may seem a little unpolished. At a closer look, it sports an organized and easy to explore panel, while the additional menus encompass a wide range of tools. These include a Route Table utility, a Base64 and Cisco Password Decoder, a hash calculator, a RSA SecurID Token Calculator, to name a few.
Cain & Abel�s interface is divided into several sections, the first of which deals with decoding passwords (for Internet Explorer, Windows Mail, Dialup Passwords, as well as others). Other panels include a Sniffer (detects and retains passwords), a Trace Route Utility and a Wireless Scanner (identifies wireless networks and provides details on MAC addresses).
Bottom line is that you can�t go wrong with Cain & Abel�s decoding algorithms. It�s witty enough to recover the strongest passwords stored on your computer and features a bunch of other hash and decryption utilities that recommend it.
