Why each option
The L0phtCrack tool is indeed capable of extracting and cracking password hashes directly from the Windows NT registry, specifically from the Security Account Manager (SAM) database.
L0phtCrack was specifically designed to extract password hashes from the Windows NT Security Account Manager (SAM) database, which is stored within the system's registry, and then perform offline brute-force or dictionary attacks to crack them.
This statement is false because L0phtCrack's primary function includes retrieving password hashes from the NT registry for cracking.
