In this episode, we talk about over sixty methods used to steal or bypass passwords, covering how attackers gain physical access to devices, buy breached credentials from forums, exploit reused passwords, break into databases with Structured Query Language injection, brute force login pages with tools like Hydra and Burp Suite, crack hashes with John the Ripper and Hashcat, use Mimikatz and Responder on Microsoft Windows networks, and trick help desks and unsuspecting users with phishing and fake websites. We also explain how password managers and email accounts become gateways to entire digital identities, why session hijacking and private key theft remain dangerous, and how weak policies and reused passwords continue to leave millions vulnerable across industries, companies, and personal devices.
