Kali Linux is an open-source, Debian-based Linux distribution geared towards various information security tasks, one of which is password attack. This Operating Systems (OS) is used by many people for hacking and for exploiting security breaches. Kali Linux provides many built-in tools that can be used to breach security measures of different devices. We have experimented with the following tools: “Hydra”, “John the Ripper”, and “Findmyhash” as password attack applications. We report the performance analysis and evaluation of the above-mentioned tools indicating how well each goal is accomplished for the designated task. View or download a PDF version of this poster.
