Ethical Hacking Questions
A password cracking attack is a method used by ethical hackers to gain unauthorized access to a system or account by attempting to guess or decrypt the password. This attack involves using various techniques such as brute force, dictionary attacks, or rainbow table attacks to systematically try different combinations of characters or precomputed hashes until the correct password is discovered. The purpose of a password cracking attack is to identify weak or easily guessable passwords, allowing the system administrator to strengthen the security measures and protect against potential malicious attacks.
