You could do John the ripper on your unix machines and windows. The best
program for windows boxes is l0phtcrack. LCP is a free "poormans"
l0phtcrack if you have no budget. Also Pwdumpv3 works great for windows
but you need a logon with admin privileges.

Subject: Password Auditing

Can anyone recommend a good password auditing tool. Basically I want
to identify weak passwords on my servers (Windows, Linux, Unix).
Ideally this would be done by a tool that could remotely fetch the
local password database and then attempt to brute force the passwords
and prepare a report in a central location.

Any suggestions?
