  2. Password strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_strength

    Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password against guessing or brute-force attacks. In its usual form, it estimates how many trials an attacker who does not have direct access to the password would need, on average, to guess it correctly. The strength of a password is a function of length, complexity, and unpredictability.

  3. Password cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_cracking

    Password cracking. In cryptanalysis and computer security, password cracking is the process of recovering passwords [1] from data that has been stored in or transmitted by a computer system in scrambled form. A common approach ( brute-force attack) is to repeatedly try guesses for the password and to check them against an available ...

  4. Brute-force attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_attack

    When password-guessing, this method is very fast when used to check all short passwords, but for longer passwords other methods such as the dictionary attack are used because a brute-force search takes too long. Longer passwords, passphrases and keys have more possible values, making them exponentially more difficult to crack than shorter ones ...

  5. Key stretching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_stretching

    Key stretching. In cryptography, key stretching techniques are used to make a possibly weak key, typically a password or passphrase, more secure against a brute-force attack by increasing the resources (time and possibly space) it takes to test each possible key. Passwords or passphrases created by humans are often short or predictable enough ...

  6. bcrypt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt

    The bcrypt function uses these inputs to compute a 24-byte (192-bit) hash. The final output of the bcrypt function is a string of the form: $2<a/b/x/y>$[cost]$[22 character salt][31 character hash] For example, with input password abc123xyz, cost 12, and a random salt, the output of bcrypt is the string.

  7. L0phtCrack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L0phtCrack

    L0phtCrack. L0phtCrack is a password auditing and recovery application originally produced by Mudge from L0pht Heavy Industries. It is used to test password strength and sometimes to recover lost Microsoft Windows passwords, by using dictionary, brute-force, hybrid attacks, and rainbow tables. [3] The initial version was released in the Spring ...

  8. Data Encryption Standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Encryption_Standard

    The Data Encryption Standard ( DES / ˌdiːˌiːˈɛs, dɛz /) is a symmetric-key algorithm for the encryption of digital data. Although its short key length of 56 bits makes it too insecure for modern applications, it has been highly influential in the advancement of cryptography . Developed in the early 1970s at IBM and based on an earlier ...

  9. MD5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5

    Figure 1. One MD5 operation. MD5 consists of 64 of these operations, grouped in four rounds of 16 operations. F is a nonlinear function; one function is used in each round. M i denotes a 32-bit block of the message input, and K i denotes a 32-bit constant, different for each operation. <<< s denotes a left bit rotation by s places; s varies for ...
