00:00:05.140 --> 00:00:08.580
Welcome to Pluralsight and this cyber security tools course featuring

00:00:08.590 --> 00:00:12.380
Cain and Abel, the free password recovery tool developed and maintained

00:00:12.380 --> 00:00:16.700
by Massimiliano Montoro. Cain and Abel is a tool which red teaming

00:00:16.700 --> 00:00:19.910
members who are looking to take advantage of valid credential sets to

00:00:19.910 --> 00:00:23.470
impersonate legitimate users and move laterally in a network can use

00:00:23.470 --> 00:00:24.750
during an attack engagement.

00:00:25.700 --> 00:00:26.380
Additionally,

00:00:26.550 --> 00:00:29.810
the tool can be used by penetration testers who wish to gain

00:00:29.810 --> 00:00:32.530
remote control to a system or harvest credentials,

00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:35.450
as well as forensic staff looking to recover passwords.

00:00:36.540 --> 00:00:39.160
Cain and Abel is a tool for the Windows operating system

00:00:39.370 --> 00:00:41.720
that enables the manipulation of network traffic to

00:00:41.720 --> 00:00:43.940
identify weak or plain text passwords.

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:48.710
A vast array of encrypted credential types and hashes can also be compromised

00:00:48.710 --> 00:00:51.280
through brute‑force techniques and cryptanalysis attacks.

00:00:51.940 --> 00:00:55.640
Finally, remote access to vulnerable systems is possible with Abel,

00:00:55.800 --> 00:00:59.840
which provides a variety of commands against a system to be executed remotely.

00:01:00.740 --> 00:01:04.280
Cain and Abel consists of tooling that can be used for two separate objectives.

00:01:05.010 --> 00:01:08.130
Cain can be used for password cracking and network‑based activities,

00:01:08.440 --> 00:01:11.960
while Abel can be placed on a vulnerable system to enable remote

00:01:11.970 --> 00:01:14.500
access and execution of commands on the system.

00:01:15.260 --> 00:01:18.300
If you would like to learn how to use Cain and Abel to sniff your network,

00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:20.590
hunt for valid credential sets, and use those

00:01:20.590 --> 00:01:22.780
credentials to move laterally between systems,

00:01:22.970 --> 00:01:26.250
come join me and explore the versatility of Cain and Abel.
