  1. Dictionary-Based Attacks: Provide one or more dictionary files (each containing a list of potential passwords). ClatsCracker:
  • Removes duplicates to improve efficiency.
  • Tries each password sequentially until a match is found or the list is exhausted.
  1. Brute Force Attacks: Without a known password list, ClatsCracker can generate all password combinations for a given length from letters and digits. This method is slower, but can reveal passwords not present in common dictionaries.
