| Description: | An (automated) activity where the initiator tries to find user passwords by repeated attempts with all possible combinations. Password cracking can be based on 'dictionary attacks', where the cracking program is given a list of probable words, on which variations are performed. Exemples of such tools can be found at http://www.openwall.com/john and http://sectools.org/tools2.html. You can also read the article at http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1192. |
