The venerable authentication auditing app, Cain & Abel has released their latest version with some additional features.  As most security professionals know, C&A is an indispensable tool when it comes to auditing network security and now it has even more features.

At first glance, it doesn't look like much is added.  That's understandable since it does so much already but if you'll look a little deeper you'll find that the things it does add are very important to auditing modern networks.  Some of the new features from the changelog are:

- Added Oracle TNS Password Cracker (Dictionary and Brute-Force Attacks for DES and 3DES hashes).
- Added Oracle TNS sniffer filter for DES and 3DES authentications.
- Fixed a bug in VNC sniffer filter for new RFB protocol versions.
- Fixed a bug with TCP/UDP/ICMP traceroute and Windows raw socket error code 10022.
- Fixed a bug in RSA SecurID Calculator for keyfobs with serial numbers of more than 8 digits.
- Fixed a bug in Dictionary Attack crackers regarding mixed Hybrid and Case Permutations variants.
- Fixed a bug in challenge spoofing and NTLM downgrading when one of the victim hosts is a gateway.
- OpenSSL library upgrade to version 0.9.8h.
