Password Cracking

Implementing effective authentication systems requires the use of strong passwords and other best practices. In addition, to practice due diligence, an organization must periodically assess the effectiveness of its passwords in use.

ÜberGuard utilizes various techniques, such as:

• Dictionary attack
• Hybrid dictionary attack
• Rainbow table attack
• Brute-force attack

ÜberGuard analyzes password crack results to produce a statistical analysis and summary trends, including timing and complexity break-down of cracked passwords.

Due to the performance requirements and the goal of not affecting production systems, ÜberGuard performs password cracking assessments on a dedicated PC that we supply.
