Password cracking is the process of using an application program to identify an unknown or forgotten password to a computer or network resource. It can also be used to help a threat actor obtain unauthorized access to resources.

With the information malicious actors gain using password cracking, they can undertake a range of criminal activities. Those include stealing banking credentials or using the information for identity theft and fraud.
A password cracker recovers passwords using various techniques. The process can involve comparing a list of words to guess passwords or the use of an algorithm to repeatedly guess the password.
For recovering lost passwords, If you've forgotten your password, you can use a password cracker to help you regain access. Testing password strength Security professionals use password crackers to test the strength of their own passwords.
Verifying password policy compliance Password crackers can be used to ensure that an organization's password policy is being followed. For example, if the organization has a password expiration policy, password crackers can be run at intervals that coincide with the intended password lifetime.

- PasswordCracker
One of the best security tools which can be used to crack passwords is PasswordCracker.
Originally, “Cracker Jack” was developed for the sake of cracking Unix /etc/passwd files with the help of a dictionary. Then, PasswordCracker came into existence afterward. Moreover, a “Pro” version was developed to include more features than the ordinary version. Especially that it has the capability to include and deal with many more hash types on which encrypted passwords are based in the first place. The Rapper’s commercial version is the most used among penetration testers for cracking passwords. This is essentially because of both its speed and great performance.
- How does PasswordCracker crack passwords?
This field of science is basically perceived as cryptanalysis. In fact, there exist some vulnerabilities in passwords, which opens the gate for hackers to exploit in order to get the password back from its encrypted format following the use of a hashing method.
One of the most common methods to crack passwords is brute force attacks.It is simply a method which mainly depends on performing a cross-checking against a cryptographic hash which is available for the password.
. It is simply a method which mainly depends on performing a cross-checking against a cryptographic hash which is available for the password.
. On the other hand, a password could be recovered through what is called rainbow table. It is much faster and contains password hashes from which a password is guessed by a computer system.

Common types of attacks used by PasswordCracker There are essentially two main types of attacks harnessed by PasswordCracker in order for it to crack any password.
.Dictionary Attacks
a. String samples are essentially taken from a specific wordlist, text file, a dictionary or past cracked passwords. b. They are then encrypted identically to the method, key, and algorithm in which the desired password was encrypted originally. c. Dictionary words could also be altered in a randomized manner to check if they work this way d. Single attack mode of PasswordCracker can do such alterations. Accordingly, different hashes variations are compared when using different alterations..Brute Force Attacks
a. All possible plaintexts composed of usernames with encrypted passwords are all exhausted to find the right one. b. They are all hashed and compared to the originally inputted hash. c. Character frequency tables are used by the program for the sake of including the most probable used characters first. d. This method is so slow, yet it could identify those passwords having no existence in a dictionary.
Works by Recover all the Activity overall
A parallelized Password Cracking which supports numerous History or Value to Attacks. It is very fast and flexible, and new modules are easy to add. Making this tool to be powerful for brute forcing passwords. It can perform fast and parallel dictionary attacks against 'lost' protocols. It is easy to install and use and has many options to help you customize and optimize your attacks.
Please read the Documentation file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems.
