"New Password Cracking Analysis Targets Bcrypt"

Hive Systems recently released the results of its latest annual analysis of password cracking through brute-force attacks. The company has been conducting this study for several years and has previously targeted passwords hashed with the widely used MD5 algorithm. In many cases, MD5 hashes can be easily cracked, so organizations are increasingly turning to more secure algorithms, specifically Bcrypt. Bcrypt is not the most secure, but according to Hive's collection of data from the Have I Been Pwned breach notification service, it has grown in use in recent years. This article continues to discuss the findings of Hive Systems' analysis on cracking passwords through brute-force attacks.
