Cryptography II: Unlocking the Secrets of Hash Functions & Wordlists 🔐

Cryptography has been used to protect the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of data for years. MIA discovered more than what she has anticipated. She found that most passwords are masked with some kind of hashes. These hashes are what kept the passwords safe. But that's all about to change as the evil BOTS that are designed to crack these sacred passwords.
