Dissertação (Mestrado em Engenharia Elétrica e da Computação) - Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2018.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/8936This work proposes the development of a software with the purpose of cracking passwords based on concurrent heuristic algorithms, first order model theory and statistical inference. The proposed methodology is developed on the Go programming language, with focus on communicating sequential processes. The software uses concurrent heuristic algorithms based on statistical patterns derived from sample sets to perform password cracking. Distinct statistical distributions are detected on sample sets. The software is able to crack significant portions of three diferente password sets in short periods of time. It is concluded that concurrent heuristic algorithms are a viable alternative to perform Central Processing Unit password cracking and can be used to raise awareness amonsgt users about the importance of high entropy passwords and digital privacy.application/pdfAcesso AbertoSenhasSegurança da informaçãoPasswordsInformation securityCIENCIA DA COMPUTACAO::SISTEMAS DE COMPUTACAODissertação
