Question

Which of the following attach is not used by LC4 to recover Windows password?

(a) Brute-force attack

(b) Dictionary attack

(c) MiTM attack

(d) Hybrid attacks

The question was posed to me in an interview for job.

This interesting question is from Popular Tools used in Security topic in chapter Cyber Laws, Security Tools, Bugs and Vulnerabilities of Cyber Security

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) MiTM attack

To explain I would say: LC4 is a password auditing and recovery tool; used for testing strength of a password and also helps in recovering lost Microsoft Windows passwords using a hybrid attack, brute-force attack as well as using a dictionary attack.
