password cracker :: how secure your passowrd?

while taking one of the most interesting subject in my studies ( network security ) ..i learned about a lots of craps that i never imagine ..before that..i thought that the password crack is just simple thing..all you need to do is download software..and play with it...network security seems deny it...but seems that knowledge is too complicated for humanbeing (atleast me..LOL) to understand..

but as one of the best network security student ever exist in UTP...i feel my obligation to explain what the secure password is really mean...(POYO kaw-kaw)..

first of all...breaking password divided into two ways ..first is understanding the algorithm...second is bruteforce...

bruteforce is actually kids game for scriptkiddies to play around with password cracking...people can easily crack / break password without needs of knowing how the password really protected ..neverless ... bruteforce is popular yet working way to break weak password ...how does it works?we are going to it to detail..but now i'm just going to give brief ..bruteforce software/application is merely use dictionary words to test your password with words that exist in dictionary ..that is it

any password cracking example bro?
