<p><b>New page</b></p><div>We h&#97;v&#101; discussed alot about popular password cracking methods such &#97;&#115; Bruteforce, &#68;ic&#116;iona&#114;&#121; attack and Rainbow tables. &#72;&#111;w&#101;v&#101;r a question I get asked frequently is if it'&#115; possible to &#99;&#114;&#97;&#99;k a Facebook &#97;&#99;c&#111;&#117;nt&#46; So I wish to clear c&#111;&#110;&#99;ep&#116;&#115; related &#116;&#111; Hacking/Cracking Facebook accounts. Fi&#114;st of all <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/thoughts-about-facebook-hacks">"Hacking a Facebook account"</a> and "&#67;r&#97;&#99;&#107;in&#103; a facebook account" ar&#101; both different terminologies.<br />
<br />
Hacking a facebook account refers &#116;&#111; foolproof methods such as Phishing, &#107;&#101;y&#108;&#111;ggi&#110;&#103;&#44; Social engineering &#101;&#116;c.<br />
&#10;&#72;&#111;w&#101;ve&#114; the terminology cracking refers &#116;o the &#109;&#101;t&#104;ods such as Bruteforce, &#68;&#105;&#99;&#116;i&#111;nar&#121; attacks etc.<br />
<br />
Brute Force Attacks<br />
<br />
<br />
Bruteforce &#105;s one of the &#109;&#111;&#115;&#116; common and &#109;&#111;&#115;&#116; reliable password cracking methodologies. &#65; bruteforce attack tries all po&#115;sib&#108;&#101; combinations ag&#97;i&#110;s&#116; the medium, until the correct password is found. However &#116;h&#101; problem with a bruteforce attack is &#116;&#104;a&#116; as the password complexity increases, the time taken to crack &#97; password also increases.<br />
<br />
<br />
The chart &#97;&#98;&#111;ve illustrates the time th&#101; estimated time taken b&#121; a computer in order to bruteforce a pas&#115;w&#111;r&#100;, assuming that if it's capable of trying 10,000 passwords per second. H&#111;w&#101;v&#101;&#114;, the time tak&#101;&#110; can be reduced by &#97;&#100;&#100;i&#110;&#103; the number of processors &#116;&#111; the task. T&#104;e&#114;efo&#114;&#101; the only flaw with &#116;&#104;e attack &#105;&#115; that it requires lots of &#112;ote&#110;&#116;i&#97;l&#46; <br />
<br />
Dictionary At&#116;a&#99;k&#115;<br />
&#10;<br />
&#10;&#84;&#104;&#101; only difference with a bruteforce attack and &#68;ictionary attack is that "A &#68;&#105;&#99;&#116;i&#111;&#110;ar&#121; attack tries the passwords whic&#104; we &#119;a&#110;t it to try". Confusing?. &#73;&#110; a dictionary a&#116;tac&#107; we have the freedom to c&#104;&#111;o&#115;e a huge list &#111;&#102; words that pe&#111;p&#108;e commonly use in their password (Depending upon &#116;he situation). The following &#118;&#105;deo will help &#121;ou understand more about Dictionary attacks.<br />

Is &#73;&#116; Possible To Crack A Facebook Account?<br />
<br />
<br />
Coming b&#97;&#99;k to the main topic &#111;f this article. A few hours back while &#73; was watching ha&#99;ki&#110;&#103; related videos &#111;n securitytube.net, I came across to &#97; video in which the hacker &#99;&#108;&#97;ime&#100; that one can use "Hydra &#84;&#111; Crack &#65; Facebook Password". However h&#101;r&#101; is why a bruteforce a&#116;tac&#107; won't work &#97;&#103;&#97;&#105;&#110;st a facebeook account.</div>EthelineLavin119
