My entry for the CFG Intro to Python MOOC Challenge, August 2023.
I wanted to demonstrate a variety of attacks that hackers can use to breach accounts.
In this program, I demonstrate:
- Dictionary Attack
- Brute Force Attack
- Mask Attack, from Hashcat
- L33tspeak Attack (modification of Mask Attack)
- Hybrid Attack
Notably, I also have a Phishing Attack
For this, I created a fake version of the popular astrology social media app Co-Star
The phished information on the target's name, birthday, and login details is then transformed into possible combinations and alternative spellings
for a personalised Dictionary Attack.
