organization’s anti-virus software will detect password cracking tools
as malware. Also explain how this impacts the effectiveness of testing
security controls like password strength. Help the leadership understand
the risks and benefits of using password cracking tools, through
persuasive arguments in your report and presentation. If any of the
tools take longer than 4-5 minutes to guess a password, record the
estimated length of time the tool anticipates to guess it.
Include this information in your presentation.
