Password Cracking: For lab 8 you will examine password cracking. Password strength is the measure of a password’s efficiency to resist password cracking attacks. The strength of a password is determined by; • Length: the number of characters the password contains. • Complexity: does it use a combination of letters, numbers, and symbol? • Unpredictability: is it something that can be guessed easily by an attacker? Let’s now look at a practical example. We will use three passwords namely 1. password 2. password1 3. #password1$ For this example, we will use the password strength indicator of Cpanel when creating passwords. The images below show the password strengths of each of the above-listed passwords.
