2. 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] Another type of approach is password spraying ...

   Backdoor (computing) A backdoor is a typically covert method of bypassing normal authentication or encryption in a computer, product, embedded device (e.g. a home router ), or its embodiment (e.g. part of a cryptosystem, algorithm, chipset, or even a "homunculus computer"—a tiny computer-within-a-computer such as that found in Intel's AMT ...

6. Phone hacking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_hacking

   Phone hacking is the practice of exploring a mobile device, often using computer exploits to analyze everything from the lowest memory and CPU levels up to the highest file system and process levels. Modern open source tooling has become fairly sophisticated to be able to "hook" into individual functions within any running app on an unlocked ...

9. Pass the hash - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pass_the_hash

   If an attacker has the hashes of a user's password, they do not need the cleartext password; they can simply use the hash to authenticate with a server and impersonate that user. [4] [5] [6] [permanent dead link] In other words, from an attacker's perspective, hashes are functionally equivalent to the original passwords that they were generated ...
