    INTRODUCTION

    Password cracking is a cybersecurity technique used to gain


    unauthorized access to computer systems, networks, or online
    accounts by attempting to guess or decrypt passwords.

    • It is one of the oldest hacking arts. Every system must store


    passwords somewhere in order to authenticate users.

    Password crackers use techniques like brute-force attacks, dictionary


    attacks, phishing, malware, rainbow tables, and guessing to crack
    passwords
    WHAT IS PASSWORD?

    A password is a secret sequence of characters or symbols used


    to authenticate a user’s identity and grant access to a computer
    system, network, ог online account.
    Comprises:
    • [a-z,A-z,0-9,@,$ etc.]
    Password Cracking Techniques

    Brute Force attack


    Dictionary attack
    Rainbow-Table attack
    Phishing
    Keylogging
    1. Guessing etc
    Brute Force Attack
    (1) Brute Force attack
    This technique involves trying
    every possible combination of
    characters until the correct
    password is found. Brute force
    attacks are resource- intensive
    and time-consuming but can
    be effective if the password is
    weak or short
    Dictionary Attack
    (2) Dictionary attack
    In this method, a list of commonly
    used passwords or words from a
    dictionary is used to attempt to
    gain access to an account.
    These lists can be created
    manually or obtained from
    previous data breaches.
    Rainbow Table Attack
    3) Rainbow-table attack
    Rainbow tables are precomputed tables used
    for reversing cryptographic hash functions to
    obtain the plaintext password from its hash.
    This technique can significantly speed up the
    process of password cracking, especially for
    weaker passwords.
    However, it requires a considerable amount of
    storage space to store the tahles
    Phishing
    Phishing involves tricking users
    into providing their passwords
    by posing as a legitimate entity,
    such as a bank or a social media
    platform.
    Phishing attacks often use
    deceptive emails, websites, or
    messages to trick users into
    entering their login credentials.
    KeyLogging
    5) Keylogging
    Keyloggers are malicious
    software or hardware that
    record keystrokes on a
    computer or device.
    Attackers can use keyloggers
    to capture passwords as users
    type them, without their
    knowledge.
    GUESSING
    (6) Guessing
    Sometimes, attackers can
    successfully guess passwords
    based on personal information
    about the target, such as their
    name, birthday, or interests.
    Keyloggers are malicious
    software or hardware that
    record keystrokes on a computer
    or device.

    Conclusion
    • In conclusion, password cracking is a persistent threat,
    but by implementing strong security practices and
    promoting user awareness, we can significantly reduce its
