Il cracking delle password e i relativi strumenti di cracking delle password sono spesso l’area della sicurezza delle informazioni e dell’hacking che la gente si entusiasma di più, oh wow posso violare le password delle email? Riceviamo e-mail praticamente ogni giorno che ci chiedono come crackare la password di Facebook di qualcuno, o recuperare le credenziali di un sito web, ecc.

Che cos’è il Password Cracking?

Come comunemente definito:
In cryptanalysis and computer security, password cracking is the process of recovering passwords from data that have been stored in or transmitted by a computer system. A common approach (brute-force attack) is to try guesses repeatedly for the password and check them against an available cryptographic hash of the password.The purpose of password cracking might be to help a user recover a forgotten password (installing an entirely new password is less of a security risk, but it involves System Administration privileges), to gain unauthorized access to a system, or as a preventive measure by system administrators to check for easily crackable passwords. On a file-by-file basis, password cracking is utilized to gain access to digital evidence for which a judge has allowed access but the particular file's access is restricted.
