“Regular security testing is a practice all organizations should incorporate into their overall security programs. Password cracking is an essential phase of a pentest/red team engagement and helps asses organizational security best practices,” Dan Turner, Principal Security Consultant at Trustwave SpiderLabs and author of CrackQ, told Help Net Security.
“But pentests and red teaming engagements have strict time constraints – whereas threat actors have unlimited time for targeting and tool calibration. Security professionals are at a testing disadvantage, and need advanced automation tools of their own.”
