This presentation discusses the password cracking tools John the Ripper and Hydra. John the Ripper uses brute force and dictionary attacks to crack passwords stored in shadow files. It runs on Linux, Mac OSX, and other platforms. Hydra is a password cracking tool that uses dictionary attacks or brute force to test weak passwords across over 30 protocols like FTP and HTTP. Both tools allow loading wordlists to crack passwords through brute force or dictionary attacks and are commonly used in Kali Linux for password auditing.
