New version of Proactive Password Auditor has the following improvements and new features:

• brute-force and mask attacks (LM and NTLM) are now multi-threaded for better performance on SMP systems, dual-core processors and processors with HyperThreading technology;
• better speed of brute-force and mask attacks (LM) on Pentium 4 - about 1,5 times faster!;
• multilingual user interface;
• saving all program parameters in HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;
• rainbow tables generation: more options (charsets); show the size of every individual table (not just the total size);
• hot keys: Ctrl+A to select all users, Ctrl-U to clear selection;
• new column in user list: audit time (for every user account);
• an ability to run the program even when DEP is enabled (some options are disabled, though: dump from local memory, and using Credential Manager passwords in User Info attack);
• when the attack is multi-threaded, the new window with every thread status (speed, current password, passwords checked);
