CRACKING A PASSWORD
There are many ways that hackers can attempt to crack passwords, including: Brute force attacks: A brute force attack involves trying every possible combination of characters until the correct password is found. This can be very time-consuming, but it is effective if the password is short or predictable. Dictionary attacks: A dictionary attack involves using a list of commonly used words and phrases as passwords. The attacker tries each word in the dictionary until the correct password is found. Rainbow table attacks: A rainbow table attack involves pre-computing the hashes of every possible password and storing them in a table. The attacker can then use the table to quickly compare hashes of the passwords they have to the hashes in the table, to find a match and crack the password. Social engineering: Social engineering is the art of manipulating people into divulging confidential information. This can be done through phishing scams, impersonating a trusted person or entity, or other tactics. Password reuse: Many people use the same password for multiple accounts, which makes it easier for hackers to crack one password and then gain access to multiple accounts. Weak passwords: Some people use weak or easily guessable passwords, such as "password" or "123456", which makes it easier for hackers to crack the password.
