Password Recovery - pass-phrase attack
A simple phrase dictionary comes with the program, but you can also download the online dictionaries that were compiled specifically for this recovery type.
99 percent of the success in the recovery of a password with a phrase attack depends on the quality of the dictionaries. Most likely, that is the reason why this type of attacks doesn't appear in just about any password cracker. For example, many users make their passwords of excerpts from their favorite songs or music bands. That's why we have created special, unique (you won't find anything like that anywhere on the Net!) music-oriented keyphrase sets. There's also a biblical set, movie phrases, proverbs, etc. Phrase dictionariesThe password-phrase attack options almost completely repeat the simple dictionary attack options: here, you also are to select one or several dictionaries for the phrase source, and it has the same way for setting phrase mutation rules. Phrase mutationAs you might have known strong mutation significantly raises chances for the successful recovery. Weak mutation is normally justified in only one case: for increasing the attack speed. Medium mutation is a normal balance between the operating speed and the number of generated password phrases. Strong mutation allows finding more difficult passwords by generating the widest range of all possible combinations, to the prejudice of the search speed. The greater is the mutation level, the more passwords the attack will cover.
Be careful! Ultra modes generate a great number of passwords, thus the attack may be running extremely slow. To speed up the attack, consider setting up input phrase limits. For example, you can limit input phrases to 5 words and 27 characters.
