Cain & Abel is a password recovery tool for Microsoft Operating Systems. It allows easy recovery of various kind of passwords by sniffing the network, cracking encrypted passwords using Dictionary, Brute-Force and Cryptanalysis attacks, recording VoIP conversations, decoding scrambled passwords, recovering wireless network keys, revealing password boxes, uncovering cached passwords and analyzing routing protocols. The program does not exploit any software vulnerabilities or bugs that could not be fixed with little effort. It covers some security aspects/weakness present in protocol's standards, authentication methods and caching mechanisms; its main purpose is the simplified recovery of passwords and credentials from various sources, however it also ships some "non standard" utilities for Microsoft Windows users.

Amazing pentest tool.
definitely one of the best sectools on windows (and note that this is "windows-only"). It's also important to note that it's in the top 10 on sectools.org, which definitely offers some defintite street-cred to the power & capability of this tool. Great for easy arp-spoofing (MitM attacks), which is in turn great password sniffing (which this tool highly excels at), password cracking of sniffed hashed values. Really great tool for pentesting & networking auditing.
Love it:P
