password-breaker

This repository is designed to be a very simple demonstration of

1. A brute-force password attack
2. A dictionary attack

While this could technically be used to break someone's password, even such a basic defence as a CAPTCHA should render this ineffective.

Structure

This repository is also going to double as an example of a basic repo, so you should take note of the file structure.

• src/: all of the code that we write. The source files.
• • main/: the code that we execute; the main program. Everything that's not a test file.
• • • java/: java code
• • • scripts/: javascript code (unrelated to java)
• • • python/: python code. Do you see the pattern?
• • test/: we write tests to help guard against logical errors when we change the code.
• documentation/: sometimes, to explain our code, it's helpful to have a documentation folder, in addition to the README.
• README.md: an overview of the repository. Usually contains installation instructions, as well.
• LICENSE: what license the code is licensed under. Our code will be licensed under the MIT License.
• CONTRIBUTING.md: guidelines for contributing.
• .gitignore: these files will not be pushed to the master repo.
