Password cracking is the systematic endeavor of discovering the password of a secure system. Cracking can involve using common passwords, cleverly generated candidate passwords (for example, replacing the letter O with the number 0 or writing a word backward), or just using a plain bruteforce exhaustive search. To make it more difficult to crack a password, a strong password must be chosen.
