A simple demo showing how real life brute force Password crackers work! (This has no function other then a demo I’m not giving you guys a illegal password cracker!)
So how do they work? The lists way: 1. List of common passwords is taken from a website or another format. 2. Common passwords are tested over and over and over on the password your trying to crack 3. If the password the script tests is correct then your in! The randomly generated way (takes much much longer): 1. Random letters and other symbols are repeatedly tried on the password 2. Random letters finally come across correct then yay! Cons of brute force password crackers 1. These programs put a lot of strain on computers because they are constantly trying and checking passwords 2. Most company’s have defenses against brute force crackers. Ever wondered why your phone locks for a minute on the 3rd try of typing a password? Brute force hacking is why! 3. There quite slow especially the randomly generated ones 4. The savvy user could use a encrypted password that’s near impossible to crack with brute force!
