Cracking password hashes is a magical black art, fundamental to Cyber Security. To understand password security, we need to understand hashing.So what is a hash? A hashing algorithm converts all passwords into a fixed length number. Even the addition of a single space totally alters the hash.
Each operating system hashes their passwords differently; therefore, the hashing algorithm needs to be identified in order to crack the password.Windows hashes are very weak compared to KALI Linux, which uses SHA512
