How do hackers break through encrypted data

848 views

How do they manage to do it when some simple encryptions are going to take years and the really good one (theoretically) centuries. Which other mean do they use except brute forcing?

Encryption itself is very rarely compromised. It’s the implementation of it that is.

As another commenter said, you don’t try every combination to enter the safe, that takes too long. You find flaws in the safe itself that allow you to break it open without needing the code.

Or trick the person into giving you the code.

Or waiting until the safe is unlocked.

Or by using a leaked password database and hope it works.
