Cain&Abel is a long standing password recovery tool that can sniff passwords from the network you are in, crack encrypted passwords using dictionary, brute force and cryptanalysis attacks, record VoIP conversations creating an MP3 audio file, reveal password boxes, analyse encrypted SSH and HTTPS connections and much more. The target public are security researchers, network administrators and IT teachers but it can also be exploited by the bad guys of course, the developer will not help in illegal activities.
I downloaded this program from the official site and AVG antivirus gave me a warning that the software contained a trojan horse, due to how password crackers work it is possible your antivirus will trigger a security warning too, it is up to you to decide what to do, I also got a popup warning from Cain&Abel saying that I had Windows firewall enabled and this would stop some features, implying that I should disable it for everything to work. You will be asked to optionally install WinPCap a packet capture library, without it Cain&Abel wireless packet sniffing won’t work.
