  2. Brute-force search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_search

    Brute force attacks can be made less effective by obfuscating the data to be encoded, something that makes it more difficult for an attacker to recognise when he has cracked the code. One of the measures of the strength of an encryption system is how long it would theoretically take an attacker to mount a successful brute force attack against it.

  3. Password cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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]

  4. Brute-force attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_attack

    One of the measures of the strength of an encryption system is how long it would theoretically take an attacker to mount a successful brute-force attack against it. [3] Brute-force attacks are an application of brute-force search, the general problem-solving technique of enumerating all candidates and checking each one. The word 'hammering' is ...

  5. Random number generator attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generator_attack

    Random numbers typically go through several layers of hardware and software before they are used. Bits may be generated in a peripheral device, sent over a serial cable, collected in an operating system utility and retrieved by a system call. The subverted bits can be substituted at any point in this process with little likelihood of detection.

  6. John the Ripper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Ripper

    One of the modes John can use is the dictionary attack. [6] It takes text string samples (usually from a file, called a wordlist, containing words found in a dictionary or real passwords cracked before), encrypting it in the same format as the password being examined (including both the encryption algorithm and key), and comparing the output to the encrypted string.

  7. Russia still using 'brute force' to break into computer systems

    The U.S. government has a message for just about everyone with a computer: Russia is still using some of the oldest tricks in the hacker book.

  8. bcrypt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt

    Besides incorporating a salt to protect against rainbow table attacks, bcrypt is an adaptive function: over time, the iteration count can be increased to make it slower, so it remains resistant to brute-force search attacks even with increasing computation power.
