passwd

This is a learning module about passwords. It is intended to be used as a part of a security course. Its parts were developed over the years of 2012--2014 for some courses on security in Mid Sweden University.

File structure

The file structure is as follows:

pwdguess is a lab for reflection on password complexity. The students will get password hashes for which they should find the corresponding passwords. It covers different types of hashes: unsalted LM-hashes and salted bcrypt hashes.

pwdpolicies is a seminar for reflection on password composition policies. It is based on research papers investigating the usability and security aspects of different common password composition policies. As such it gives insights into the results but also the research methodologies.
