Just wondering.
EDIT: Nevermind, Cane and Able is the password recovery thing right?

Yes it's safe to use. Use it wisely though.
What are some of the things I could do with Cain and Able? :):048:

What are some of the things I could do with Cain and Able? :):048:I'm not going to discuss that. As it can lead to bad things.

Security/system audits, password recovery, traffic sniffing, and the such. It's one of the better, albeit somewhat dated, auditing suites for Windows, and a decent starting point for newcomers who want to learn more about IS. If that's what you're looking to do, countless tutorials can easily be found with a quick Google or YouTube search.

I wouldn't be too worried about asking general use questions. C&A is a legitimate tool used by consummate security professionals, no different than something along the lines of Wireshark. I may be in the minority, but I would actually encourage you to discuss and learn more about it. Not only can it assist you in troubleshooting and securing your own machines and network(s), but, once mastered, utilities like these can also help you land a job or attract auditing clients. It also serves as a wake-up call for many people who don't really take PC, network, or wireless security seriously until they see first-hand what tools like these can do.
Of course, like almost anything else out there with a legitimate use (guns, knives, forks, magnets, comamnd prompts, hex editors, flour, etc), it can also used for nefarious purposes, but that's ultimately down to whether or not you really want to be a dildo. Don't be a dildo.
Sniffing traffic gets incredibly boring really fast anyway.

please dont use when playing on a non server game is all im saying please...
I mean the only thing I know how to do with Cain and Able but I don't do is getting IPs and using a noob booter. I don't do that and I never will. I just noticed that a lot of little kids have started doing this and it gets annoying, because they think they have a lot of power.
Also, how would you use Cain and Able to secure your computers and such? And how would it secure your computer.
