How Password Cracking Works
Brute Force Attacks
Attackers systematically try every possible combination until they find the correct password. This method is guaranteed to work eventually but can take a very long time for complex passwords.
Dictionary Attacks
Instead of trying all combinations, attackers use lists of common passwords and words. This method is much faster but only works against weak passwords.
Hybrid Attacks
Combines dictionary words with brute force techniques, adding numbers and symbols to common words. This approach targets passwords that follow common patterns.
Protection Methods
Use long, complex passwords with a mix of character types. Enable two-factor authentication whenever possible, and use a password manager to generate and store strong, unique passwords.
