A Quick Look On Brutus Password Cracker
Engaging Remote Machine Using “Word List” The Method: Creates many number of combinations of Possible System passwords from two separate files“users” and “word”. - Engages remote machine enter word after word, at high speed, until a match is found.
Engaging Remote Machine using “Word List” Sample Entries for File “users” statler waldorf administrator Sample Entries for File “word” aaa abc 123 academia academic
Engaging Remote FTP Server Using “Word List”
“Word List”: A Failed attempt
Sample Trace for the Method - “Word List”
Engaging Remote Server using “Combo” n The Method: - - n Similar to “Word List” Uses “combo” file to generate combinations passwords for each users of the remote system. Uncertain; Needs more guessing Sample “combo” file Entries admin: admin 1 « admin: admin 123 «
Engaging Remote Server using “Brute. Force” The Method: Guaranteed to some extent Relies purely on power and repetition Need very high processing speed Produces many number of passwords for a particular user using permutations and combinations May take months years to crack the password
Examples of Generated passwords: n n aaa, aab, aac. . . aa. A, aa. B, aa. C. . . aa 0, aa 1, aa 2, aa 3. . . aba, aca, ada. . Each of the combinations of characters and symbols is fed through the appropriate cryptographic algorithm and compared to the stored password until a match is found.
