There are many different ways to authenticate users of a system and there are many password cracking methods also developed. This paper proposes how best password cracking can be performed on a CPU-GPGPU based system. The main objective of this work is to project how quickly a password can be cracked with some knowledge about the computer security and password cracking if sufficient security is not incorporated to the system.}, journal = {International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences}, volume = {9}, number = {12}, year = {2015}, pages = {2442 - 2445}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10003075}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/108}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 108, 2015}, }
