What is password cracking?

Password cracking is the process of trying to guess or brute-force a password. Hackers may use automated tools to try millions of different passwords until they find the correct one.

There are a number of different password cracking techniques, including:

  • Brute-force attacks: This is the most basic password cracking technique, and it involves trying every possible combination of characters until the correct password is found.
  • Dictionary attacks: This technique involves using a list of common words and phrases as passwords.
  • Rainbow table attacks: This technique involves using a pre-computed table of hashes to quickly find the password associated with a given hash.
  • Hybrid attacks: This technique combines brute-force and dictionary attacks to increase the chances of success.

Password cracking can be a time-consuming process, but it can be successful if the password is weak. To protect your passwords from being cracked, use a strong password that is at least 12 characters long and includes a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. You should also avoid using the same password for multiple accounts.
