Crack Password Hashes In Mac OS X Lion

When i was using mac x lion , i tried for different hacks to do in it, where i tried this cracking of password in mac ... So follow my steps to do it ......

1.Gain Admin Access :      

Actually you wont have admin access because you are hacking in it , So to gain it go to the "  boot the computer into Single-User Mode "  by holding " CMD+S " on startup, mount the drive, and type the command:

Code : "  /sbin/mount -uw / " 

Followed By : 
" launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectoryd.plist "

And Finally : " password "

Then, enter your new root password when prompted twice. After the password has been reset, type: " restart " 

2. Log In :

Log into the admin account that you have accessed now , or if you don’t have access to one, select “Other” in the Login Window & enter “root” as the username, and then the password that you just set now ...

3. Download Utility : 

We use the DaveGrohl utility to both crack the password and extract the hash .... Click this link to Download it ....

https://hotfile.com/dl/164399148/ed022d8/DaveGrohl-1.0.zip.html

The utility works by extracting the hash from the User Profile, which is located in:

" /private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/.plist "

 It opens the hash from the ‘ShadowHashData’ field and begins cracking.

4. Open Terminal : 

Once you’ve downloaded the utility, open up Terminal and type this code in it :

Code : " cd Downloads/DaveGrohl "

5. Crack Password : 
Type the following to begin cracking the password:

Code : " sudo ./dave -u " 



DaveGrohl will begin cracking your password via wordlists and then continue with brute-forcing ... until it gets the password which may take some time (Finished in 0.772 Sec per 55,620 Guesses) & then the output message of the password  is given as ....

-- Found password : ' Darling '
-- (dictionary attack)

Mac Hot Corners Hack

In Mac OS X (Leopard) we have a feature called " Hot Corners " ... It is used for assigning 4 different functions to the 4 corners of the screen when you point it to the corners of your screen when the "Hot Corner "  is Activated .... So to Activate it follow my steps ...

Step 1 : First of all , go inside Apple > System Preferences > Expose and Spaces Preferences Pane ...

Step 2 : Now In Expose & Space you will find 4 corners where you can select which function to be accessed at the corners ... 



Step 3 : So when you place your mouse at the corners, you can access that function which is too easy for us .....  So try to use mac OS which has more features ....
