Assignment 5 – Password Cracking in Linux and Windows

My time with this course was similar to my time in CYSE 270, but on a higher scale of difficulty.

However, this and multiple other assignments helped to build on my previous knowledge of Linux by working with Kali Linux a security-focused version of the operating system with the same capabilities as Ubuntu.
