Ophcrack is a

SAM files of Windows, and can be ran via the command line or using the program’s GUI (Graphical user interface). On most computers, ophcrack can crack most passwords within a few minutes.[1]

Rainbow tables for

LM hashes are provided for free by the developers. By default, ophcrack is bundled with tables that allow it to crack passwords no longer than 14 characters using only alphanumeric characters. Available for free download are four Windows XP tables and four Windows Vista tables.[2]

Objectif Sécurité has even larger tables for purchase that are intended for professional use.[3] Larger rainbow tables are NTLM hash for cracking Windows Vista/Windows 7.[2]

Ophcrack is also available as

SliTaz GNU/Linux
.

Starting with version 2.3, Ophcrack also cracks NTLM hashes. This is necessary if the generation of the LM hash is disabled (this is default for Windows Vista) or if the password is longer than 14 characters (in which case the LM hash is not stored).

Starting with version 3.7.0, the source code has been moved from SourceForge to GitLab.[5]
