How Easy Can Your Password Be Hacked? Method 2

[deleted-794687]

Hello

I was wondering on how you could add punctuation to method 2, known as the Brute Force Attack. I'm trying to see if I can add it to complete my project

Hi,

I understand that you are asking about this project: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... #procedure

If you'd like to add punctuation or symbols, you can extend the 62-characters-per-wheel analogy to include additional characters. Now, at each step, pick a character from one of the following groups:
* a-z
* A-Z
* 0-9
* ,;:. (or other punctutation)

Then continue to try all combinations for each length. With more symbols, this will take longer and longer, so beware that it is not very efficient.

Hope that helps. Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Best,
Charles
