MoPE: a Mixture of Password Experts for Improving Password Guessing

Textual passwords remain a predominant authentication mechanism in web security. To evaluate their strength, existing research has proposed several data-driven models across various scenarios. However, these models generally treat passwords uniformly, neglecting the structural differences among...

CVE-2025-59350

Dragonfly is an open source P2P-based file distribution and image acceleration system. Prior to 2.1.0, the access control mechanism for the Proxy feature uses simple string comparisons and is therefore vulnerable to timing attacks. An attacker may try to guess the password one character at a time...
