Hacking and cracking techniques involve stealing passwords by looking over someone's shoulder, guessing based on familiarity, brute force attacks using combinations of letters numbers and symbols, dictionary attacks using word combinations, or hybrid methods combining dictionary and brute force attacks. Cracking software encrypts strings of characters and compares them to encrypted passwords to identify matches, with 99.2% of e-commerce passwords able to be cracked given enough time as the software prioritizes most likely combinations.

Techniques: Stealing Looking over shoulder Guessing Familiarity Brute Force combination of letters, numbers and symbols Dictionary Attack combination of words Hybrid Method Dictionary + Brute Force Cracking Software 1) Take string of characters and encrypting them 2) Comparing the encrypted text against the password in encrypted form 3) If both are same, then string of characters is PW
To save time the software tries the most likely combinations. 99.2% of E-com PWs were cracked given enough time.
