    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Password_Game

    The Password Game is a web-based puzzle video game. [2] The player is tasked with typing a password in an input box. [3] The game has a total of 35 rules that the password must follow and which appear in a specific order. [4] As the player changes the password to comply with the first rule, a second one appears, and so on.

  3. Brute-force attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_attack

    In cryptography, a brute-force attack consists of an attacker submitting many passwords or passphrases with the hope of eventually guessing correctly. The attacker systematically checks all possible passwords and passphrases until the correct one is found. Alternatively, the attacker can attempt to guess the key which is typically created from ...

  4. Password cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_cracking

    Password cracking. In cryptanalysis and computer security, password cracking is the process of guessing passwords [1] protecting a computer system. A common approach (brute-force attack) is to repeatedly try guesses for the password and to check them against an available cryptographic hash of the password. [2]

    The first step, Hamerstone says, is to check your router. “Follow the instructions provided with your router to login to your admin account, and from here you can check to see which devices are ...

  6. Key size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_size

    Key size. In cryptography, key size or key length refers to the number of bits in a key used by a cryptographic algorithm (such as a cipher). Key length defines the upper-bound on an algorithm's security (i.e. a logarithmic measure of the fastest known attack against an algorithm), because the security of all algorithms can be violated by brute ...

  7. Password strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_strength

    Password expiration was previously trying to serve two purposes: [56] If the time to crack a password is estimated to be 100 days, password expiration times fewer than 100 days may help ensure insufficient time for an attacker. If a password has been compromised, requiring it to be changed regularly may limit the access time for the attacker.

    Eventually, after a long period of being unable to decipher U-boat messages, a source of cribs was found. This was the Kurzsignale (short signals) , a code which the German navy used to minimise the duration of transmissions, thereby reducing the risk of being located by high-frequency direction finding techniques.
