5 Best Ways Used By Hackers to Crack Accounts Passwords

Here are some popular tricks to hack accounts and get their passwords:

1.Password hashes:

Passwords that you type in your computer operating systems are stored somewhere on the disc in the form of hashes.These hashes are not in clear text therefore to access these hashes root/sysadmin privilages are required.In windows operating system these hashes are stored on the local disc in the SAM file,while in linux stores these hashes in /etc/shadow file.Hence to encrypt out the password out of these hashes the root access is required and therefore the password can only be cracked by this process only if the operating system can be in your control for some time or you can use the system by your own.As the hashes are not in clear text so we has to find the password out of that by some method.Here are some methods that are used preferably to do so:

a)Dictionary:

Using dictionary attack to find the password out of hashes is the simplest and fastest method.It just runs through dictionary of words and tries each one of them to check whether it works or not.It could seem to be impossible if it has to be done manually as one cannot try so many passwords at a time but the best thing is that your computer can do so in just a minute or even less to find up the password.Use this trick and find out the password from the hashes where some programs available on internet will help you find the correct password out of the bundle of text of hashes.

b)Rainbow table:

Most systems now a days uses hashes to store the password but as we know these hashes are encrypted files.To crack up the encryption is to take the dictionary file that we has found in above step and hash it again and then compare it with the hash file that was accessed previously from the system.That takes a lot of time and uses intense CPU but this process checks the password that we got through dictionary of hash file to be correct.

2.Using Software to hack:

There are many softwares available on the internet that do help you to crack the various accounts.These softwares uses some commands and some information to find the encrypted pasword and then crack it.Some softwares can even hack the accounts in few minutes which is great but every password cannot be cracked by this method.Still this method is used mostly to crack the accounts as it the easiest method to do so.You just has to provide the required information and the rest of process will be done by softwares only.
Here are some of the best hacking software used till date:

a)John The Ripper:

The world’s best known tool to crack up the passwords that can crack up the password for linux operating system strictly using the command line.It uses built in default password cracking technology and attempts to crack password first by dictionary attack and if that fails it then tries combined dictionary words and still if that does not works it tries the hybrid attack of dictionary words with special characters and words.At last if that all does nothing then it uses its special brute force feature that will be enough to find the required account password.

b) Ophcrack:

It’s a free rainbow table-based password cracking tool for Windows and is among the most popular password cracking tools and can also be used on linux and mac systems.It crackes LM and NTLM hashes.Although this program can crack the password only if you have the hash file of the operating system without that it is of no use.Still it can probably crack most accounts.

3.Online account hacking:

Accounts can be hacked using online hacking tools that uses some information about the account and using that it can crack up the accounts.Online tools are pre programed to do so and can be the easiest way to hack passwords if you are familier with some of the information of account.Following are some of the best online hacking tools that you can use:

a)Botnet:

These machines are simply a function of brute force computing power and these machines are basically used for cracking the passwords in very very less time than that of general computers.The same can be done to network also and it can access about network of one million machines.

b)ASIC:
