  2. Brute-force attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_attack

    A brute-force attack is a cryptanalytic attack that can, in theory, be used to attempt to decrypt any encrypted data (except for data encrypted in an information-theoretically secure manner). [1] Such an attack might be used when it is not possible to take advantage of other weaknesses in an encryption system (if any exist) that would make the ...

  3. Password cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_cracking

    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] Another type of approach is password spraying, which is often automated and occurs slowly over time in order to remain undetected, using a list of common passwords. [3]

  4. Camellia (cipher) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camellia_(cipher)

    Even using the smaller key size option (128 bits), it's considered infeasible to break it by brute-force attack on the keys with current technology. There are no known successful attacks that weaken the cipher considerably. The cipher has been approved for use by the ISO/IEC, the European Union's NESSIE project and the Japanese CRYPTREC project.

  5. 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.

  6. Hashcat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashcat

    Hashcat offers multiple attack modes for obtaining effective and complex coverage over a hash's keyspace. These modes are: Brute-force attack [6] Combinator attack [6] Dictionary attack [6] Fingerprint attack; Hybrid attack [6] Mask attack [6] Permutation attack; Rule-based attack [6] Table-Lookup attack (CPU only) Toggle-Case attack [6]

  7. Cain and Abel (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cain_and_Abel_(software)

    Cain and Abel (often abbreviated to Cain) was a password recovery tool for Microsoft Windows.It could recover many kinds of passwords using methods such as network packet sniffing, cracking various password hashes by using methods such as dictionary attacks, brute force and cryptanalysis attacks. [1]

    Hezbollah’s support network isn’t just facilitating mayhem in the Middle East — it’s also endangering American lives.

  9. PBKDF2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2

    One weakness of PBKDF2 is that while its number of iterations can be adjusted to make it take an arbitrarily large amount of computing time, it can be implemented with a small circuit and very little RAM, which makes brute-force attacks using application-specific integrated circuits or graphics processing units relatively cheap.
