Password Analysis
Controlled password strength testing using approved credential data to identify weak, reused or crackable passwords and improve identity controls.
Know when to bring this work into the program.
Use password analysis to validate whether written password requirements are producing credentials that resist realistic cracking and reuse attacks.
A scope built around the risk.
Controlled password strength testing using approved credential data to identify weak, reused or crackable passwords and improve identity controls.
- Approved extraction and secure handling of password hashes
- Offline cracking with controlled wordlists and rules
- Common patterns, reuse and organizational terms
- Authentication controls that reduce password dependence
Useful output for the people who must act.
- Aggregate password strength results
- Identification of weak patterns without exposing passwords
- Targeted remediation and education recommendations
- Input for MFA and authentication strategy
A process designed for password analysis.
Securely collect
Begin with approved extraction and secure handling of password hashes and confirm the systems, people and evidence needed to answer the client’s specific questions.
Test resilience
Review offline cracking with controlled wordlists and rules. Then evaluate common patterns, reuse and organizational terms to determine whether the relevant controls operate as intended.
Analyze patterns
Assess authentication controls that reduce password dependence and connect the result to credible security, operational and business impact.
Strengthen authentication
Provide aggregate password strength results and identification of weak patterns without exposing passwords, then align responsible parties around the next actions.
Move from activity to clarity.
How many credentials fall quickly to realistic attacks?
To answer this, Elteni analyzes approved extraction and secure handling of password hashes together with offline cracking with controlled wordlists and rules. The client receives aggregate password strength results, with the evidence, context and next steps needed to act.
Are predictable firm-related patterns common?
To answer this, Elteni analyzes offline cracking with controlled wordlists and rules together with common patterns, reuse and organizational terms. The client receives identification of weak patterns without exposing passwords, with the evidence, context and next steps needed to act.
Do privileged accounts receive stronger protection?
To answer this, Elteni analyzes common patterns, reuse and organizational terms together with authentication controls that reduce password dependence. The client receives targeted remediation and education recommendations, with the evidence, context and next steps needed to act.
The result does not have to live in another report.
Relevant findings, evidence, owners and remediation status can be centralized in the Elteni Platform as part of an ongoing relationship.
