Actual story: a user came to me with a Tablet with a pattern password, he told me that he forgot the password, I performed a Google search for the most common pattern passwords, and guess what, the 6th password I tried was the correct one...

Another incredible video. Just passed the exam and absolutely this video is important. Make sure to watch the whole thing!

I'm so astonished, of how great Professor Messer is, his videos are extremely beneficial, and what I love so much about it as well, he dives right in, as soon as the first second of the video begins, which is so time-efficient, much love professor!

God, I started watching your videos years ago and I love how you still use Stargate names for things. Funny how when I started I was going into a job for a help desk position, and now I'm a SysAdmin.

It is really hard for me to listen to the same voice but you keep me incredibly engaged. Thank you for doing this!

[JakeXimus]

You just earned a new level of respect for being a fan of Stargate

[FacuNatural]

Thanks for the videos, you are amazing.

[BoitumeloNtokozoNgwenya]

great content, very clear and precise

[anthonyreese]

how would they know which hashing algorithm to use in order to do a brute force on hash data?

[Tairah]

Thank you so much! Your videos are super helpful!

[vagabondmatt]

The stargate reference made me smile lol

Question. Lets say person A has the password, "password". And person B has the same exact password. Would both A and B's resulting fingerprint be the same exach hash string?

[MikayilBayramov-lc]

Hi Professor, thanks for your videos. It has been helpful for me to prepare for Security+ exam. I am planning to take practice exam from your website before taking a real exam. I have been watching till this video so far. What do you recommend me about when can I take practice exam ? Is that recommended if I take it after watching all 177 videos or what? Thanks.

[devinrobertson]

How does one "add salt" to a password? Isnt the password saved as a hash upon entering it successfully? So wouldnt that mean youd need to add a random string of stuff to the password before hitting enter? Because that would cause you to have the wrong password and be unable to log in. Or, is it that when you sign into something, the application, or site, will add the random string automatically, prior to generating and writing the hash?

[richardvanpuymbrouck]

Long length and rainbow passwords is what I trust

[AboodSpiN]

i love your explanation prof! keep it up!
