After
completing the lab, you will have successfully tested more than one
password cracking tool. Not all password cracking tools will necessarily
perform with the same speed, precision, and results, making it
important to test a few different products. Compare the password
cracking tools based on these characteristics, and include as part of
your assessment and recommendations on the use of such tools. You will
test the organization’s systems for password strength and complexity and
complete validation testing. You will compare the results obtained from
your first and second tool.
You have
tested and made comparisons of the performance of various password
cracking tools and you have the data to support your recommendations for
the use of such tools.

Read this article about Cyberattacks,
perform two different types of cyberattacks in the first, and in the
second tool, crack user account passwords. Describe them in simple
nontechnical terms for the leadership. You can identify which tool is
the most effective and why for your organization’s IT environment
Compare
and contrast the results from the two methods used to crack the
accounts for the three passwords (each encrypted by the two hash
algorithms). Show their benefits. You can make certain conclusions that
help your company’s cybersecurity posture after using these methods.
Explain
to the director of IT and the members of the board that the healthcare
organization’s anti-virus software will detect password cracking tools
as malware. Also explain how this impacts the effectiveness of testing
security controls like password strength. Help the leadership understand
the risks and benefits of using password cracking tools, through
persuasive arguments in your report and presentation. If any of the
tools take longer than 4-5 minutes to guess a password, record the
estimated length of time the tool anticipates to guess it.
