why do we need to learn about password cracking and the tools used to do so? 
=The purpose of password cracking revolves around recovering the forgotten passwords of our online accounts, computers, and smartphones. Password cracking is also used by system administrators as a preventive measure. 

#####Types of password cracking attacks:

Here’s I’ll be listing various types of password cracking attacks that are generally used by attackers:

• Dictionary attack: This attack uses a file that contains a list of words that are found in the dictionary. This mode matches different combinations of those words to crack your device open.
• Brute force attack: Apart from the dictionary words, brute force attack makes use of non-dictionary words too.
• Rainbow table attack: This attack comes along with pre-computed hashes. Thus, this method is faster.

There are lots of other password cracking techniques like phishing, spidering, social engineering, shoulder surfing etc.
