How Attackers Crack Passwords

Attackers use multiple techniques to exploit weak passwords:

  • Dictionary Attacks: Trying common words and passwords from lists
  • Brute Force: Trying every possible character combination
  • Hybrid Attacks: Combining dictionary words with variations (p@ssw0rd, password123)
  • Credential Stuffing: Using leaked passwords from other breaches
  • Social Engineering: Guessing based on personal information

Creating Strong Passwords

Do:

  • Use at least 12-16 characters
  • Combine uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
  • Use passphrases (e.g., "CorrectHorseBatteryStaple")
  • Use unique passwords for every account
  • Use a password manager

Don't:

  • Use personal information (names, birthdays)
  • Use common words or patterns
  • Reuse passwords across sites
  • Use simple substitutions (p@ssw0rd)

Additional Security Measures

  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Adds an extra layer of security
  • Password Managers: Generate and store complex passwords
  • Regular Updates: Change passwords periodically
  • Breach Monitoring: Check if your accounts appear in data breaches
  • Security Questions: Use random answers stored in your password manager
