MysqlPasswordAuditor

MysqlPasswordAuditor is a simple-to-use application that can recover lost or forgotten passwords to MySQL accounts, as long as they are saved on your computer, thanks to the dictionary-based method. For example, it can be used for verifying business environments for weak MySQL password configurations.

Once you reach the main app window, you can check out all options provided by this program, since everything is visible. You can specify the local IP address of the server with the MySQL installation in your corporate network, indicate the MySQL port number and username, as well as choose a password dictionary file.

MysqlPasswordAuditor comes bundled with its own password dictionary file to help you get started. However, you can modify this file using a common text processor like Windows Notepad, or create a new file from scratch and populate it with all passwords you want to be tried by the tool. Just keep in mind that the verification is case sensitive, so lowercase letters are different from their uppercase counterparts.

After starting the audit, you can view the current status and total elapsed time as well as check out the current password being tried by the application. Once the scan is over, you can export results to a file with the HTML, XML or TXT format for further evaluation and safekeeping. The report shows the MySQL input information (server, port number, username and dictionary file) as well as the password audit status (total password count, total time, found password).

The software application worked smoothly on Windows 10 in our tests and had minimal impact on the computer's performance. Thanks to its intuitive options, MysqlPasswordAuditor comes to the aid of all users interested in recovering their MySQL passwords or checking business environments for weak MySQL passwords.
