H&amp;#111;&amp;#119;ev&amp;#101;r a question &amp;#73; get asked frequently is if &amp;#105;t&amp;#39;&amp;#115; possible to cra&amp;#99;&amp;#107; a Facebook &amp;#97;c&amp;#99;ou&amp;#110;&amp;#116;. So I wish to clear &amp;#99;&amp;#111;n&amp;#99;e&amp;#112;&amp;#116;s related &amp;#116;&amp;#111; Hacking/Cracking Facebook accounts. Firs&amp;#116; of all &quot;Hacking a Facebook account&quot; and &amp;#34;C&amp;#114;&amp;#97;&amp;#99;&amp;#107;&amp;#105;&amp;#110;&amp;#103; a facebook account&quot; a&amp;#114;e both different terminologies.<br /> <br /> Hacking a facebook account refers t&amp;#111; foolproof methods such as Phishing, k&amp;#101;&amp;#121;&amp;#108;&amp;#111;g&amp;#103;&amp;#105;&amp;#110;g, Social engineering et&amp;#99;&amp;#46;<br /> &amp;#10;&amp;#72;&amp;#111;&amp;#119;&amp;#101;&amp;#118;&amp;#101;r the terminology cracking refers t&amp;#111; the me&amp;#116;&amp;#104;od&amp;#115; such as Bruteforce, &amp;#68;i&amp;#99;tio&amp;#110;&amp;#97;&amp;#114;&amp;#121; attacks etc.<br /> <br /> Brute Force Attacks<br /> <br /> <br /> Bruteforce i&amp;#115; one of the &amp;#109;o&amp;#115;t common and &amp;#109;os&amp;#116; reliable password cracking methodologies. &amp;#65; bruteforce attack tries all &amp;#112;&amp;#111;s&amp;#115;&amp;#105;b&amp;#108;e combinations ag&amp;#97;&amp;#105;n&amp;#115;t the medium, until the correct password is found. However &amp;#116;h&amp;#101; problem with &amp;#97; bruteforce attack is &amp;#116;&amp;#104;at as the password complexity increases, the time taken t&amp;#111; crack &amp;#97; password also increases.<br /> <br /> <br /> The chart above illustrates the time t&amp;#104;e estimated time taken &amp;#98;&amp;#121; a computer in order &amp;#116;o bruteforce a &amp;#112;&amp;#97;sswo&amp;#114;&amp;#100;, assuming that &amp;#105;&amp;#102; it's capable of trying 10,000 passwords per second. &amp;#72;o&amp;#119;e&amp;#118;&amp;#101;&amp;#114;, the time t&amp;#97;ken can be reduced by ad&amp;#100;i&amp;#110;g the number of processors to the task. &amp;#84;&amp;#104;e&amp;#114;&amp;#101;&amp;#102;o&amp;#114;e the only flaw with &amp;#116;he attack &amp;#105;&amp;#115; that it requires lots of &amp;#112;&amp;#111;&amp;#116;e&amp;#110;tia&amp;#108;. <br /> <br /> Dictionary A&amp;#116;&amp;#116;&amp;#97;&amp;#99;k&amp;#115;<br /> &amp;#10;<br /> &amp;#10;&amp;#84;&amp;#104;&amp;#101; only difference with &amp;#97; bruteforce attack and Di&amp;#99;&amp;#116;i&amp;#111;&amp;#110;&amp;#97;&amp;#114;&amp;#121; attack is that &quot;A Di&amp;#99;t&amp;#105;&amp;#111;&amp;#110;a&amp;#114;y attack tries the passwords w&amp;#104;ich we w&amp;#97;&amp;#110;t it to try&quot;. Confusing?. &amp;#73;&amp;#110; a dictionary &amp;#97;tta&amp;#99;&amp;#107; we have the freedom to ch&amp;#111;&amp;#111;&amp;#115;e a huge list &amp;#111;f words that &amp;#112;&amp;#101;&amp;#111;&amp;#112;l&amp;#101; commonly use in their password (Depending upon the situation). The following &amp;#118;i&amp;#100;&amp;#101;&amp;#111; will help &amp;#121;&amp;#111;&amp;#117; understand more about Dictionary attacks.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Is I&amp;#116; Possible &amp;#84;&amp;#111; Crack A Facebook Account?<br /> <br /> <br /> Coming b&amp;#97;&amp;#99;k to the main topic of this article. &amp;#65; few hours back while &amp;#73; was watching &amp;#104;ack&amp;#105;ng related videos &amp;#111;n securitytube.net, I came across to a video in w&amp;#104;&amp;#105;ch the hacker c&amp;#108;&amp;#97;i&amp;#109;&amp;#101;&amp;#100; that one can use &quot;Hydra &amp;#84;&amp;#111; Crack A Facebook Password&quot;. However &amp;#104;&amp;#101;r&amp;#101; is why a bruteforce &amp;#97;tt&amp;#97;ck won't work ag&amp;#97;&amp;#105;&amp;#110;&amp;#115;t a facebeook account.</div> Fri, 23 Mar 2012 12:11:14 GMT AmelinaBigelow399 http://beta.aalf.org/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:AmelinaBigelow399
