A Novel Dictionary Generation Methodology for Contextual-Based Password Cracking
Congratulations to Aikaterini Kanta and co-authors Iwen Coisel, and Mark Scanlon on the publication of A Novel Dictionary Generation Methodology for Contextual-Based Password Cracking in IEEE Access.
Co-authors: Iwen Coisel, and Mark Scanlon.
AI-generated summary of the contribution: A novel dictionary generation methodology for contextual-based password cracking is proposed, focusing on leveraging contextual information encountered during an investigation. The approach enables the creation of custom dictionary word lists for dictionary-based password cracking attacks, targeting specific users or groups of users. By incorporating user habits and personal information, the methodology generates targeted password candidates, potentially expediting password cracking processes in law enforcement investigations. The proposed approach is demonstrated through a prototype implementation and evaluation, showcasing its viability and impact on password cracking.
