Focus
Password Hacking challenges focus on identifying weak or exposed passwords through methods like brute force, dictionary attacks, hash cracking, and password reuse exploitation. These labs simulate real-world scenarios where attackers gain unauthorized access through poor password practices.
Participants will encounter challenges involving common hash algorithms (MD5, SHA1, bcrypt, etc.), authentication bypasses, and weak password policies — all to sharpen their skills in password auditing and ethical password cracking.
Focus Areas:
- Hash identification and cracking
- Dictionary/Brute force attacks
- Authentication bypass
- Rainbow tables and salting
