Cain and Abel (sometimes called simply "Cain") is a Windows password recovery tool. It can recover many kinds of passwords using methods such as network packet sniffing, cracking various password hashes by using methods such as dictionary attacks, brute force and cryptanalysis attacks. Cryptanalysis attacks are done via rainbow tables which can be generated with the winrtgen.exe program provided with Cain and Abel. Cain and Abel is maintained by Massimiliano Montoro.Kumar has already posted about how to use Cain and Abel to hack Networks.

Cain & Abel is a useful tool for network administrators, teachers, security consultants/professionals, forensic staff, security software vendors, professional penetration tester and everyone else that plans to use it for ethical reasons. 

How to hack a Computer with Cain and Able

• This hack will only work for Computers connected on LAN.
• First of all download Cain and Abel Software.

• First Click the Sniffer Tab.
• Now Click on the sniffer button in the top toolbar. On clicking ,the sniffer will start.
• Now click on + button to add the range of ip address you want to hack on LAN. Like in my hostel my ip is something like 15.15.15.04 so I have given the range from 15.15.15.1 to 15.15.15.254 .
• Tick the option which says " All Tests ".
• Click OK and you will see the software will start all the test.
• After completion of these tests you will see the MAC Addresses ,IP addresses and OUI fingerprints of all computers running in your LAN .
• Now click on APR tab below.In APR there are two windows .
• Click on the above window and the + button will appear above .Now Click that button and a new window will open.
• Left side window will show all the ip addresses and right window will be empty.
• Click on any IP address in the Left Window and all other IPs will automatically appear in right window.Suppose I click on 15.15.15.1 .
• Press Cntrl and select all the ips in the right window and Click OK.

NOTE: What you are doing ? Actually you are going to poison all the other ips using 15.15.15.1 . In this way you will be totally safe . If someones tries to know who is poisoning then he will get the ip of 15.15.15.1 and you are safe here :)

• All these ips will be shown in above window.
• Now Click on APR Button in the top toolbar and as you click on that button poisoning will start.It will show in the below window.
