ReTrIeVE PaSswOrD ProTeCtEd DaTa

okay so same disclaimer for this post too...

now sometimes you lock a folder, memorycard, or any other data file and forget your password that you've kept....there are many ways to get through it but in this post we'll talk about some attacks that can open up your passwords......now the first one we'll gonna be talking about is the dictionary attack..

1.DICTIONARY ATTACK
now in this attack we just upload a dictionary of your choice to a software that checks its each and every word in the password field and as the password is cracked it stops working.. now in this attack the password should e be a valid dictionary word which is always not applicable...but if the folder have a dictionary password you'll be very happy..if not then don't get angry just go for the brute force attack..


2.BRUTE FORCE ATTACK
this type of attack requires a lot of patience and patience and patience....it is a slow in fact very slow process but the success rate is 100% to crack the password....in this process or attack we just tells the software to make every possible key combination of any length which can have any valid keyboard keys and check them as the password so if the password is about 11 alphabets long with 3 numbers.......it becomes a very difficult and slow process but if you have a patience of a week or more then you can definitely follow this....
this attack can also be applied on Facebook by a special software namely facebooz.. as we all know for more than 5 or more wrong password attempts the facebook.com asks us to enter the code from the image so this attack is inapplicable there.. thats why we use m.facebook.com as it never asks for the captcha...
now this attack can also be done to break a phone lock or any other password.....
remember the success rate is 100% but the time required is very long
