Tech Thursday – Cracking the Code: Passwords, Hashes and the Tools that Break Them

How weak is your password, really? It’s time to find out! Learn the basics of tools such as John the Ripper, hashcat, and hydra as we identify and break hashes within our network, both online and offline. Learn different types of wordlists, sources for good wordlists, the scenarios in which to use different types of wordlists, and how to create your own. End the argument of password strength and understand the real-world approach of attackers.

This our sixth monthly Tech Thursday for 2026. After this month, they will be less frequent so don’t miss you chance to attend this event! We will meet at Gigaparts for this free event. Pizza and softdrinks are served.
