Password Attacks

Awesome Password Cracking : Unlocking The Code – A Comprehensive Guide To Tools And Techniques

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.
