My brother is downlading ophcrack to steal my passwords. The computer he's doing it on, I'm not admin of. What should I do? Catch him in the act? (If so how?) or stop him? |

Disable LM hashes.
Quoted from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299656
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
4. Type NoLMHash, and then press ENTER.
5. On the Edit menu, click Modify.
6. Type 1, and then click OK.

And change your password to something harder to crack afterwards.

make sure it has lower case and uppercase letters, some numbers, and symbols.
example: (!PaSSwoRD_1998?)

That's a bad example. It should not consist of words that you can find in a wordlist. A better example of a password is &kfG/sa43M]i (but good luck remembering that xD)

OphCrack can't crack long and difficult passwords. I tested it myself. just choose a pwd with symbols and numbers and make it long (8+) characters. good luck

No, no he's not. He's simply NOT owned.

Wordlist alteration takes a LONG time, especially with those characters. But, if you're battling against great forces (*cough* NSA/Gov */cough*), you're better off avoiding real words.
Try character replacement; p@$$w0rd instead of "password". Should keep 'em busy.
