Question: 8

Password cracsheets programs reverse the hashing process to recover passwords.(True/False)

A. True
B. False

Answer: B

Explanation:
Password cracsheets programs do not reverse the hashing process. Hashing is a one-way
process.
What these programs can do is to encrypt words, phrases, and characters using the same
encryption process and compare them to the original password. A hashed match reveals the true
password.
