@stake upgrades L0phtCrack to version 5 -- little different!

Well for those of you keeping track at home, @stake (formerly known as L0pht Industries -- hackers turned *cough**cough* Security Consultants) recently came out with their trademark product @stake L0phtCrack 5 which does not appear to do anything new except make use of the Rainbow Crack that I spoke of only a few days ago.

I used it and the only other thing that I noticed worth mentioning is that when you try to retrieve passwords from another machine (remote) it asks for credentials and then after authenticating you, it will install an agent on the remote machine and presents a warning that someone can intercept your transmission if you use this method. Now call me crazy but that means that this software (which costs a friggin fortune by the way) that is written by these "Security Consultants" has a gaping security hole in it from the start!! They are so busy trying to make it easy (ala Windows) for all of us, so we don't have to get off our fat asses (careful with this link :P ) and walk to the server to get this information, they are creating security holes for us!!!

Alright, well I gotta get to my homework or my professor will have my fat ass in a sling
