Interesting video on hacking WPA and bypassing Windows passwords

I was doing some searching online for any information that might help me figure out a problem I was having with a Fiber Channel LUN from an Open-E SAN not showing up correctly on an ESXi server, when I stumbled upon THIS video from Revision 3 TV..  I've watched these guys before, and they usually have something cool on their show, even if it is a bit too gamer-centric for my taste.  This particular video has a cool demo of how to break a WPA password, and also a demonstration on how to bypass a windows password.  Both of these things might come in handy sometime in the future (For GOOD, not evil!!) so I thought I'd make a note of it and pass it along..  I skipped the ESX segment, as soon as I saw it was on iSCSI..  still a fun lab, but not what I was looking for!!

First Post

So..  This is what happens when...  I am bored, and decide that there's too many things that I have to research, and then FORGET the answer to, or forget where I found the solution, or forget to tell someone else...

Anyway, the answer is, that I decide to finally catch up with the rest of the world, and create a blog.  I expect this to be mostly for myself, because I have privacy concerns, but since I'll be careful what I post, I'm going to leave it public, so hopefully if someone else is just searching around, maybe something I've written down can help someone else sometime..

If you find something useful on here, send a comment, click a link, tell someone where you found it.. whatever..  If you can answer one of my questions, then definitely please do!  You may be helping many people with the same issue!!

Have fun reading.
