Description: Password cracking is the process of recovering passwords from data that has been stored or transmitted by a computer system. This phenomenon has become one of the main concerns in the field of cybersecurity, as passwords are the first line of defense to protect sensitive information of users and organizations. Password cracking can be carried out through various techniques, such as phishing, where attackers deceive victims into revealing their credentials, or through the use of malware that captures keystrokes. Additionally, the use of brute force attacks, where combinations of passwords are tested until the correct one is found, is another common technique. The relevance of password cracking lies in its ability to compromise accounts and entire systems, which can result in financial losses, reputational damage, and data breaches. In the context of Red Team vs Blue Team, password cracking becomes a battleground where attacking teams (Red Team) attempt to exploit vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access, while defending teams (Blue Team) work to protect systems and mitigate these risks. Awareness of the importance of strong passwords and the implementation of multi-factor authentication measures are essential to combat this threat.
