Is there is a computer code to break account passwords?
There are many programs which can be used to break account passwords. All of them rely either on poor encryption of the passwords or poor choice of passwords. Poorly chosen passwords are easy to guess. Many systems will store the password in encrypted form and then when the user submits their password to the system, the system encrypts the password they supply and compares it to the encrypted password stored in the password directory. If they match, then the user is considered authenticated and is free to enter. The password cracking programs may simply run through a "dictionary" of possible passwords that include a huge number of common passwords. Other programs generate permutations of possible passwords starting with the shortest allowed ones gradually increasing the size of the password they guess until they get a match or the length gets too long to make continuing practical. Considering how fast computers can operate, some of these tools will crack all the weak passwords in an encrypted password file in a matter of a few minutes.
