Timing Attack

passport-local-mongoose is vulnerable to timing attack. The attack exists because password comparison function does not use a secure constant time comparison, allowing the attacker to guess the password...

WPA3

Everyone is writing about the new WPA3 Wi-Fi security standard, and how it improves security over the current WPA2 standard. This summary is as good as any other: The first big new feature in WPA3 is protection against offline, password-guessing attacks. This is where an attacker captures data fr...

Password-Guessing Was Used to Hack Gentoo Linux Github Account

Maintainers of the Gentoo Linux distribution have now revealed the impact and "root cause" of the attack that saw unknown hackers taking control of its GitHub account last week and modifying the content of its repositories and pages. The hackers not only managed to change the content in compromis...

A Deep Learning Approach for Password Guessing: PassGAN

State-of-the-art password guessing tools, such as HashCat and John the Ripper JTR, enable users to check billions of passwords per second against password hashes. In addition to straightforward dictionary attacks, these tools can expand dictionaries using password generation rules. Although these...

OpenJDK: weak protection of key stores against brute forcing (Security, 8181692)

It was discovered that the Security component of OpenJDK generated weak password-based encryption keys used to protect private keys stored in key stores. This made it easier to perform password guessing attacks to decrypt stored keys if an attacker could gain access to a key store...
