Description

Password attacks are a common way to break into systems, so you need to understand the types of tools available and how they work. Kali Linux is an operating system and there are many tools to perform such attacks.

Weak passwords are still a huge problem in the security world. Users must set strong passwords to restrict access to data by anonymous users. Even a 6-digit PIN is not secure enough and can be brute-forced within an hour. A rule of thumb for passwords is that it should be longer (more than 9 words) and contain different or multiple letters+numbers+special characters.
