Fernando is explaining to a colleague how a password cracker works. Which of the following is a valid statement about password crackers? Due to their advanced capabilities, they require only a small amount of computing power. A password cracker attempts to uncover the type of hash algorithm that created the digest because once it is known, the password is broken. Most states prohibit password crackers unless they are used to retrieve a lost password. Password crackers differ as to how candidates are created.

How is the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) used? It allows secure web domains to exchange user authentication and authorization data. It is an authenticator in IEEE 802.1x. It is no longer used because it has been replaced by LDAP. It serves as a backup to a RADIUS server.

How is key stretching effective in resisting password attacks? It requires the use of GPUs. It does not require the use of salts. It takes more time to generate candidate password digests. The license fees are very expensive to purchase and use it.

Which of these is NOT a reason that users create weak passwords? The length and complexity required force users to circumvent creating strong passwords. A security policy requires a password to be changed regularly. A lengthy and complex password can be difficult to memorize. Having multiple passwords makes it hard to remember all of them.

Why are dictionary attacks successful? They use pregenerated rules to speed up the processing. Password crackers using a dictionary attack require less RAM than other types of password crackers. They link known words together in a "string" for faster processing. Users often create passwords from dictionary words.
