this article seems to commend the software for recovering 'lost passwords'. Someone should mention the use of the proigram for malicious security cracking. (would you need a packet sniffer if you lost your password?, this feature can only be used if the password is still in active use) I'd like to see this article improve over the coming months.

It could also be used for many white hat purposes , including security audits ( well some features of it anyway). I should also note on xp it requires admin privliages to install but it has the potental to be used for many blackhat purposes. Im sure 99% of the time password crackers and such are used for malicious purposes. Kingpomba 08:30, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
My concerns have not been addressed by an expert on the subject, so i am doing my reasearch and i will edit for NPOV, i may also tag the page with an NPOV notice. One big thing i will do is add this to every (relevant) category possible so that it may get some attention. Thanks. MichaelBillington 12:11, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Why NPOV? This tool, and others like it, are neutral. This program can be used for both legitimate and less noble puposes. Legitimate uses would include systems administrators checking their own network security or recovering passwords lost by a user - the latter happens very frequently. Also, such programs are also used by security consultants and law-enforcement agencies. Less desirable uses would include people recovering your passwords to steal valuable personal or commercial information, such as your internet banking passwords or trade secrets.
Finally, agree with the post below - the problem is not one of NPOV, (otherwise guns and electricity would be too...), it's rather "do we need this in Wikipedia"?
i just created the page , i hope it grows in size and in information , cheers, Kingpomba 11:37, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
User:Popcorn2008 threw a {{prod}} tag on the page just a while ago [1]. This is probably more like material for an AfD debate though, as it seems like a number of users on the #wikipedia IRC channel (me included) don't want to see it go. Please leave your opinions below, so we can determine if this page is to be thrown in the bitbucket. MichaelBillington 11:45, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Image:CainAndAble.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

If possible someone should add some history about this program? There really isn't much online about the history —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.25.101.241 ( talk) 13:56, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
