Password Cracking in Practice
password cracking, hashcat, GPU
As more and more traffic and data on the Internet are being protected end-to-end,
decrypting information becomes more critical than ever before. The presentation
outlines password-cracking use-cases, employed formats, current GPU/FPGA
performance limits, and existing (non-)commercial cracking tools. Speaker will
show how to: a) automatically extract hashes from encrypted documents; b) prepare
and evaluate password keyspace (e.g., generate passwords using Markov chains /
rule-based grammars and handling of passwords containing national characters); c)
orchestrate various cracking strategies (e.g., a combination of dictionaries).
Participants will be provided with tips and tricks on how to use Hashcat more
effectively and how to distribute password cracking task on their
infrastructure.
