Module 08

In this module, we learn some system hacking techniques. The chapter explains in detail how to use key loggers and how to crack the passwords. Lastly, we also review the system hacking countermeasures and how to configure the password policies.

Malicious actors can use key-loggers or rainbow tables to crack user passwords. However, there is also another method often used by pen-testers. The method is to gather the user password from the pwned password database. This technique is very successful since a lot of people use the same password for multiple accounts.
