Password cracking is no longer rocket science but a handy skill for any penetration tester or
system and network defender, or anyone who simply enjoys a good geek project. Watch our webinar
series by Brian Johnson, a cybersecurity enthusiast from 7 Minute Security, to
learn how to set
up cracking tools in
the cloud (and on the cheap!) and better protect your organisation’s Active
Directory environment.
Learning how to crack passwords is fun and incredibly useful for assessing the security of your IT environment. It used to be a considerable time and money sponge, requiring you to drop a big chunk of change on a beefy desktop and invest some serious time in building and configuring it. The good news is that now, thanks to the power of the cloud, we can build a rocking virtual cracking box that can try millions of password guesses per second — all for about a dollar an hour.

Hackers love it when we choose weak or leaked passwords for our most important accounts. What if we could better protect our companies by preventing users from picking over 500 million known bad passwords? And better yet, what if we could do this for free?
