Presented at SAINTCON 2019, Oct. 22, 2019, 3:30 p.m. (60 minutes)

Password cracking is something that Hollywood uses all the time, and makes look easy. Well...it's not really that hard. You're using a computer to do the work. Hashcat is the tool of choice when you have to do some tough cracking. There are steps to take to work through your lists, and yeah, it takes time. Unless they're using something silly, but no one does that anymore, right?
