CIT 270: Hands-On Projects Choose one hands-on project at the end of the module (or chapter). Complete it. Fill out the following template. Then upload this document to I-Learn Canvas for your Hands-On Project submission. Project Module and Number (1pts) Project 12-1: Using an Online Password Cracker Key words and Definitions (3pts) 1. Dictionary attack – an attack that uses a restricted list in order to crack a password or key by brute force. 2. Salt – random data added to a hash. Salting makes a hash harder to crack, as the cracking software would need to determine what part of the hash is the real password and what part is the random, added data. 3. Oauth- a way of granting websites or applications access to limited amounts of a user’s data. This is used as a more secure alternative to giving the website or application the user’s entire password or similarly sensitive data. Key takeaways, or: What did you learn? (4pts) It’s incredibly important to make a secure password. Even if you have numbers in your password, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it won’t be easy to crack. Using special characters and no dictionary words is a smart way to make your passwords not as easy to crack.
