Abstract

Password cracking process still continues to remain prevalent during a pentest or a digital forensic investigation. In both cases, time is critically important. Most of the password cracking tools available today can be used to crack different types of hashes and encryption media. Though these tools utilize system components to enhance their performance, still it might not crack it in the required duration of time. This process of cracking pass- words could be accelerated with the help of distributed password cracking technique. This paper aims at studying and analysing some of the popular password cracking tools and to propose a new command-line distributed password cracking tool which aims to resolve some of the issues with current distributed password cracking tools.
