Abstract
In digital forensics, investigators frequently face cryptographic protection that prevents access to potentially significant evidence. Since users prefer passwords that are easy to remember, they often unwittingly follow a series of common password-creation patterns. A probabilistic context-free grammar is a mathematical model that can describe such patterns and provide a smart alternative for traditional brute-force and dictionary password guessing methods. Because more complex tasks require dividing the workload among multiple nodes, in the paper, we propose a technique for distributed cracking with probabilistic grammars.
