Password cracking programs mathematically reverse the hashing process to recover passwords
True
False
Password cracking programs do not reverse the hashing process. Hashing is a one-way process, compared to the two-way process of encryption. What these programs can do is to hash words, phrases, and characters using the same hashing algorithm as the hashed password and compare the resulting hashes to the original password hash. A hashed match reveals the true password.
