Building A Password Cracker With Python

Показать описание

In this video we learn how to build a password hash cracker using a common password dictionary. Please only use this for ethical hacking and have fun!

Visit me on twitch and come chat while I stream Python vids and play games!

For anyone learning Python, this is a great video. I really applaud the fact that you spend time troubleshooting errors. That is real-world coding!

First of all great video! Really glad I found this channel. Secondly, I have a question - I recently studied Generators and how to use them and wondered if instead of the for loop you created we could use a generator so it would print out the password each at a time, considering that real common password files conatain millions of passwords?
Anyways keep up the good work, hope you'll answer :)

Would you consider making simple distributed password cracker with sockets, threading and queues

How would this work in practicality though? This only works if their password matches a password in your list of passwords, but most platforms/websites nowadays will require you to make a password with at least 8 letters, at least 1 capital letter, at least 1 number, and at least 1 special symbol - which obviously makes the matter much more difficult, and even if this wasn't the case, I honestly don't know anyone who uses a very common password i.e., common words. Instead they may use words and numbers within their password that mean something to them, like their dogs name, or their middle name followed by their date of birth, and so on. Yes, this video is very educational regarding how to create lists, loops and dictionaries to practice password cracking in theory, but practicality, it wouldn't work at all, and like you said you'd have a list of 1, 000, 000 common passwords, but the commonality of a password (again, in my opinion) is subject to what's personal to each individual, which you cannot know simply by coding in this manner. A way to further improve this video would be to formulate a more complex code that has a much better ability to crack a passcode (for ethical purposes only of course) than this.

It’s all in the password file list . It’s a huge monumental guessing game . You can have a file with a list of 1000 words and get lucky and guess the password .or you can have a file with 10 trillion words and fail, It’s all a guessing game.
