A condensed, but nonetheless still very effective version of our commercial training on password auditing, recovery and cracking techniques.
Cracking passwords is a critical skill for today's information security professionals. With the increasing amount of sensitive information and systems relying on passwords, protecting against unauthorized access is more important than ever. Whether you are looking to crack passwords to gain access to systems, or auditing systems for weak passwords to make them more secure - you will gain a deeper understanding of what various common hashing algorithms are, and how to effectively crack passwords using those hashing algorithms. By the end of this training, you will have a solid foundation of password cracking techniques and be equipped with the knowledge to use password cracking for offence and defence that will allow you to grow your skills and research. We will cover creating powerful wordlists and rules (and why you need them), the tools used to crack hashes and advanced techniques. This training will give you a strong baseline to get you started in your password cracking experience. See the description for the full outline.
