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

A few hours back while &amp;#73; was watching ha&amp;#99;ki&amp;#110;&amp;#103; related videos &amp;#111;n securitytube.net, I came across to &amp;#97; video in which the hacker &amp;#99;&amp;#108;&amp;#97;ime&amp;#100; that one can use &quot;Hydra &amp;#84;&amp;#111; Crack &amp;#65; Facebook Password&quot;.
