Project 9: Password Cracking Analysis

Based on what you have learned in this class, employ a password cracking application (like Cain or John) and document the processes that are happening within the application. What methods are being used to decrypt/guess passwords? Your report should include appropriate screen captures and references.

***Important: You will also need to provide an opening paragraph or set of paragraphs (1/3rd to 1/2 of a page) with citations showing two or more current real-world situations where that particular crypto service is appropriately implemented.***
