Password Cracking and Tools: Analysis of Automatic Cracking Tools and Password Guessing

Abstract

Password are stored in the form of one-way hashes, some password cracking tools such as hashcat can be used to crack efficiently the password using dictionaries and appropriate rules. Recent work show how the tools can be used to crack efficiently password using some trained dictionary and rules. Through previous analysis and dataset previous trained we tried to increment the success rate of the attack and create a powerful dictionary and sets of rules.
