  2. Hydra (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydra_(software)

    Hydra works by using different approaches, such as brute-force attacks and dictionary attacks, in order to guess the right username and password combination. Hydra is commonly used by penetration testers together with a set of programmes like crunch, [3] cupp [4] etc, which are used to generate wordlists based on user-defined patterns.

  3. Password cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_cracking

    A common approach (brute-force attack) is to repeatedly try guesses for the password and to check them against an available cryptographic hash of the password. [2] Another type of approach is password spraying, which is often automated and occurs slowly over time in order to remain undetected, using a list of common passwords. [3]

  4. Random number generator attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generator_attack

    Just as with other components of a cryptosystem, a software random number generator should be designed to resist certain attacks. Some attacks possible on a RNG include (from [3]): Direct cryptanalytic attack when an attacker obtained part of the stream of random bits and can use this to distinguish the RNG output from a truly random stream.

  5. Tool-assisted speedrun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool-assisted_speedrun

    Creating a tool-assisted speedrun is the process of finding the optimal set of inputs to fulfill a given criterion — usually completing a game as fast as possible. No limits are imposed on the tools used for this search, but the result has to be a set of timed key-presses that, when played back on the actual console, achieves the target ...

  6. Password strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_strength

    Systems that use passwords for authentication must have some way to check any password entered to gain access. If the valid passwords are simply stored in a system file or database, an attacker who gains sufficient access to the system will obtain all user passwords, giving the attacker access to all accounts on the attacked system and possibly other systems where users employ the same or ...

  7. bcrypt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt

    Besides incorporating a salt to protect against rainbow table attacks, bcrypt is an adaptive function: over time, the iteration count can be increased to make it slower, so it remains resistant to brute-force search attacks even with increasing computation power.

  8. Credential stuffing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credential_stuffing

    Credential stuffing is a type of cyberattack in which the attacker collects stolen account credentials, typically consisting of lists of usernames or email addresses and the corresponding passwords (often from a data breach), and then uses the credentials to gain unauthorized access to user accounts on other systems through large-scale automated login requests directed against a web ...
