  1. Exploit: Password Cracking

  2. An Overview on Password Cracking Password cracking is a term used to describe the penetration of a network, system, or resource with or without the use of tools to unlock a resource that has been secured with a password

  3. Introduction • System vulnerabilities with passwords • Strong passwords Vs Weak • Examples of vulnerabilities • Applications • FTP, HTTP, Telnet • Password Cracking Tools • Tools in Common • Brutus Password Cracker

  4. Experiment on Password Cracking • Platform : Windows. • Setting up of machines with services • Target Machine (Server) • Client

  5. Setting up of Machines DHCP/Switch Client FTP-Serv-U Brutus Ethereal. 192.168.1.3 (Word List) 192.168.1.2 (Word List) 192.168.0.172 (BruteForce) 192.168.0.125(BruteForce)

  6. About Brutus Password Cracker: • Supported Applications • Telnet, FTP, HTTP • Methods used to engage with Remote machine • Word List • Combo • BruteForce

  7. A Quick Look On Brutus Password Cracker

  8. Engaging Remote Machine Using “Word List” The Method: - Creates many number of combinations of Possible System passwords from two separate files“users” and “word”. - Engages remote machine enter word after word, at high speed, until a match is found.

  10. Engaging Remote FTP Server Using “Word List”

  11. “Word List”: A Failed attempt

  12. Sample Trace for the Method - “Word List”

  13. Engaging Remote Server using “Combo” • The Method: • Similar to “Word List” • Uses “combo” file to generate combinations passwords for each users of the remote system. • Uncertain; Needs more guessing • Sample “combo” file Entries • admin:admin1 • admin:admin12 • admin:admin123

  14. Engaging Remote Server using “BruteForce” The Method: - Guaranteed to some extent -Relies purely on power and repetition - Need very high processing speed - Produces many number of passwords for a particular user using permutations and combinations - May take months years to crack the password

  15. Examples of Generated passwords: • aaa, aab, aac... aaA, aaB, aaC... aa0, aa1, aa2, aa3... aba, aca, ada.. • Each of the combinations of characters and symbols is fed through the appropriate cryptographic algorithm and compared to the stored password until a match is found.
