## Why ophcrack_crack is rated High

Ophcrack is a password cracking utility. Even with an empty description, the tool name strongly implies it executes password cracking operations, which involves running computationally intensive processes to break authentication credentials.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'ophcrack_crack' references Ophcrack, a well-known password cracking tool that uses rainbow tables to crack Windows password hashes. The server is described as an 'AI Powered penetration testing Platform for offensive security research'."

## Use case

AI agents invoke ophcrack_crack to trigger actions in Nyxstrike. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Nyxstrike:

```json

  "tools": {
    "ophcrack_crack": {
      "limits": [
        {
