As it became known from recent news , even some computer security professionals, real hackers, sometimes use weak passwords. Password attacks can be divided into two large groups: a hash attack and an attempt to pick up a password for authentication.
We will not dwell on their characteristics in detail. Since password dictionary attack is possible in both groups. So we come to the most important thing — where to get the dictionaries.
