I hacked 40,000 passwords with Python. Yours might've been one of them.

I hacked 40,000 passwords with Python. I created a text file containing 1 million passwords in the real world. In the next part of this article, I’m going to show you how hackers “decrypt” hashed password to the actual word (Well, they don’t actually decrypt, they guess). Then, I will show how it’s done in Python. There are 3 steps to a dictionary attack: Access to the (hashed) password list, HASH all the words found in the English dictionary. If I find a match, bingo!
