Are there real random password generators?

Question

Are there real random password generators like the ones you see in TV Shows and Movies that works automatically, generates hundreds of codes, and checks them to see if they are a functioning code for what you need it for?
Ex.: Need to log on to a certain account, don't know the password, pull up the code generator, goes to work until it finds the right code.
Do the really exist like that?
(If so please include a link....)

Answer 1

Sure there are.



This is why many systems will lock you out if you enter some number of incorrect passwords.

Answer 2

Yes and No. Its really not as simple as "put cd in drive, run program get password". You have to pull the hashes from the SAM file ( where the passwords are securely stored) on a windows machine, which might i add is a whole ordeal in and of itself, and from there it attempts to brute force or dictionary attack the hash until it can derive an answer from it (which doesnt always happen depending on the strength of the password). In either case its not something your average computer user can do easily, and it can take weeks to crack complicated passwords.

Answer 3

About as real as the moon being made of cheese. Even if you were able to generate credit, don't you think that Amazon would soon catch on and take legal proceedings against you?
