Project Description

 The Project involves performing password cracking attacks on vulnerable systems using tools like John the
Ripper or Hydra.
 The attacks are designed to test the strength of password and assess the security of the system being tested.
 The Project may involve using different techniques such as brute-force attacks, dictionary attacks, and other
method to crack passwords.
Brute-force Attack

 In this Attack, The Attacker tries all possible


combination of characters to guess the password.
Dictionary Attack

 In this Attack, Attacker uses a pre-made list of


commonly used passwords to guess the password.
Cracking Password of Kali Linux

 Step 1: Combine the content of /etc/passwd and


/etc/shadow with following Command: $sudo
unshadow /etc/passwd /etc/shadow > passwd
Cracking Password of Kali Linux (Cont.)

 Step 2: Open Password file, you will be able to


see combine values
Cracking Password of Kali Linux (Cont.)

 Step 3: Execute Following Command to crack


password: $john
–wordlist=/usr/share/john/password.lst password –
format=crypt
Cracking Password of Kali Linux (Cont.)

 Step 4: Seems like hash is already cracked by john


before so we can directly see cracked password by
using command: $john –show password
 So, we can see that cracked password for user
“kali” is “kali”.
Thank You!
