There's an unofficial patch for John the Ripper to support MS SQL
password hashes:

	http://www.banquise.net/misc/patch-john.html

and it's been briefly mentioned on this mailing list:

	http://www.openwall.com/lists/john-users/2005/12/09/1

Erik - any reason why this is not in the jumbo patches? ;-)  (I mean the
working non-vectorized version.)

Also relevant is this paper which explains the hashing method:

	http://www.nextgenss.com/papers/cracking-sql-passwords.pdf

Oh, and Google found this video on "MS SQL Preauth Attack, Pwdump and
John the Ripper":

	http://www.ethicalhacker.net/content/view/75/24/

No, this last one is not about cracking MS SQL hashes, unfortunately.
