im new.
wat would u use this program for?

If you don't know what you would use it for, then you won't be able to get the hashes anyways.

windows hashes are(used to be?) stored in the SAM file. XP had the possibility of having either LM hashes or NT hashes (LM being the weaker of the two). Not sure what Vista uses, but I'm sure its fairly similar to an NT hash.

And as for your error:
It's an error thrown by the Windows API method to create a new OS thread. It can be used for a few things, code injection being one of them. Not really sure why it's throwing that error at you. What were you doing?

Ishkur: Nothing, I just was following the tutorial step-by-step. Loaded it up and it threw that at me. I've fiddled around a bit but it gives me that error in quite a few other places as well.

ur website link for the program doesnt work

sorry if this may sound noobish, cuz I am noobish..but when I DL it, it sys there's a threat, but i didn't care abotu that cuz of course this is a "threat". And when I started Cain, my IE closed and Firefox closed..which is kinda weird

there are fucking TONS AND TONS of tuts on the almost exact same thing, i figured i would just write one to stop all the damn threads

yeah cain and able works wonders. NT/LM hash cracking from the SAM with it is good. Also SAM inside works great, plus you don't even have to install it. Not to meantion for the fastest way, i use oph crack because it has built in rainbowtables instead of running the hashes against a word list or dictionary. All 3 of them=win.
