Password Encryption

Password Encryption is for the user’s privacy and security. They are put there so that the users

information is not stolen by someone else, even though sometimes the encryption is broken and a hacker gets to the user’s information anyways.

Hashing
Hashing is a way to encrypt user passwords. Hashing is very versatile, each algorithm for a hash can be completely different than another one because they are stored using a number. When a user types in the password, the system matches the hash value of that username and password to the hash value that was stored in the database.

How Hackers bypass Hashing
In order to bypass hashes, a hacker is not able to reverse the value to get the original value. Instead they must perform a brute force attack on the system that hashes multiple passwords and checks if it matches any other hash values. Today's hashes have multiple iterations to make it much harder for Hackers to get into the system.

Encrypting
Systematic encryption uses keys in order to keep a user's account safe. The key in this case being what the user's created password.

How Hackers bypass Systematic Encrypting

In order to bypass this security system, hackers need only to find the key that the system uses to store all of the passwords. After this, they can find whatever passwords they want to.
