What tool would work best for Daryl's needs?

Daryl is a network administrator working for Dayton Technologies. Since Daryl’s background is in web application development, many of the programs and applications his company uses are web- based. Daryl sets up a simple forms-based logon screen for all the applications he creates, so they are secure.
The problem Daryl is having, is that his users are forgetting their passwords quite often and sometimes he does not have the time to get into his applications and change the passwords for them. Daryl wants a tool or program that can monitor web-based passwords and notify him when a password has been changed so he can use that tool whenever a user calls him and he can give them their password right then.

What tool would work best for Daryl’s needs?

A.
WinHttrack

B.
John the Ripper

C.
L0phtCrack

D.
Password Sniffer

Explanation:
L0phtCrack is a password auditing and recovery application (now called LC5 ), originally produced by Mudge from L0pht Heavy Industries. It is used to test password strength and sometimes to recover lost Microsoft Windows passwords.
John the Ripper is one of the most popular password testing/breaking programs as it combines a number of password crackers into one package, autodetects password hash types, and includes a customisable cracker. It can be run against various encrypted password formats including several crypt password hash types
WinHttrack is a offline browser.
A password sniffer would give Daryl the passwords when they are changed as it is a web based authentication over a simple form but still it would be more correct to give the users new passwords instead of keeping a copy of the passwords in clear text.
