Have you ever wondered just how secure your passwords really are? Unveil the power of brute force with the Python Password Cracker, an extraordinary tool designed to crack passwords wide open!
Watch in real-time as the computer takes on the challenge, generating thousands of password attempts per second. Choose your adventure – opt to see each password tried or maintain an air of mystery as the clock ticks on. Discover the ultimate secret as the program relentlessly attacks and systematically uncovers your password.
Please tell me what you think and give me feedback!
You should add a dictionary of common passwords that it checks first before brute forcing. That’s how real hackers would do it and it would give a better estimate.
Some actual passwords I’ve seen from brute-force attempts on a fake telnet server aren’t exactly the kind of thing you’d want to have in a public Repl’s files (e.g. username/password mother/f**ker), so that might not work well
No, Jay’s been working on this the past few days, and has been asking in General for help with it. If he were just ripping off yours, he wouldn’t have been asking for help.
A lot of websites and devices lock you out after x failed attempts to unlock. So, brute forcing would not work, and IIRC in some cases factory reset the device. However, remember that there are other ways to steal data off a device, so always protect your device well. You can reset a Windows password by booting the computer with a Linux USB (and that is on top of the fact that you can access the Windows filesystem from Linux).
for a password cracker, I’d recommend converting to C code for performance. I could help you if you want if I have time before I leave on a train to vacay tmr.
