3. Password cracking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_cracking

   However, asking users to remember a password consisting of a "mix of uppercase and lowercase characters" is similar to asking them to remember a sequence of bits: hard to remember, and only a little bit harder to crack (e.g. only 128 times harder to crack for 7-letter passwords, less if the user simply capitalizes one of the letters).

4. Crack (password software) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_(password_software)

   Network distributed password cracking; Crack v5.0a [6] released in 2000 did not introduce any new features, but instead concentrated on improving the code and introducing more flexibility, such as the ability to integrate other crypt() variants such as those needed to attack the MD5 password hashes used on more modern Unix, Linux and Windows NT ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophcrack

   Ophcrack is a free open-source (GPL licensed) program that cracks Windows log-in passwords by using LM hashes through rainbow tables.The program includes the ability to import the hashes from a variety of formats, including dumping directly from the SAM files of Windows, and can be run via the command line or using the program’s GUI (Graphical user interface).

   The Worst Passwords List is an annual list of the 25 most common passwords from each year as produced by internet security firm SplashData. [3] Since 2011, the firm has published the list based on data examined from millions of passwords leaked in data breaches, mostly in North America and Western Europe, over each year.

7. John the Ripper - Wikipedia

   One of the modes John can use is the dictionary attack. [6] It takes text string samples (usually from a file, called a wordlist, containing words found in a dictionary or real passwords cracked before), encrypting it in the same format as the password being examined (including both the encryption algorithm and key), and comparing the output to the encrypted string.

   The passwords may then be tried against any online account that can be linked to the first, to test for passwords reused on other sites. This particular list originates from the OWASP SecLists Project ( [1] ) and is copied from its content on GitHub ( [2] ) for convenient linking from Wikipedia.

9. Brute-force attack - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_attack

   Longer passwords, passphrases and keys have more possible values, making them exponentially more difficult to crack than shorter ones due to diversity of characters. [ 2 ] Brute-force attacks can be made less effective by obfuscating the data to be encoded making it more difficult for an attacker to recognize when the code has been cracked or ...
