In cryptanalysis and computer security, password cracking is the process of recovering passwords from data that has been stored in or transmitted by a computer system in scrambled form.
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.
This is a curated list of awesome tools, research, papers and other projects related to password cracking and password security by @n0kovo@infosec.exchange.
