Password Attack Simulator
Educational tool showing how password attacks work - Learn why strong passwords matter
Attack Configuration
Tries all possible character combinations
6 characters
Est. time: 2.5 days
Attack Methods
Dictionary Attack:
Tries common passwords from a pre-compiled list. Fast but only works on weak passwords.
Brute Force Attack:
Tries every possible combination of characters. Guaranteed to work but takes exponentially longer with password length.
Real-World Speeds:
Modern GPUs can try billions of passwords per second against weak hashing algorithms.
Protection Tips
Use passwords with 12+ characters (exponentially harder to crack)
Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
Never use common words or patterns
Use unique passwords for each account
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) everywhere
Educational Purpose: This simulator demonstrates password attack methods for educational purposes only. The simulation is simplified and runs much slower than real attacks. Never use these techniques without permission - unauthorized access is illegal.
