The Best Brute Force Attack Books of All Time

In the 1960s, it became increasingly clear that more and more information was going to be stored on computers, not on pieces of paper. With these changes in technology and the ways it was used came a need to protect both the systems and the information. For the next ten years, encryption systems of varying strengths were developed, but none proved to be rigorous enough. In 1973, the NBS put out an open call for a new, stronger encryption system that would become the new federal standard. Several years later, IBM responded with a system called Lucifer that came to simply be known as DES (data encryption standard).

The strength of an encryption system is best measured by the attacks it is able to withstand, and because DES was the federal standard, many tried to test its limits. (It should also be noted that a number of cryptographers and computer scientists told the NSA that DES was not nearly strong enough and would be easily hacked.) Rogue hackers, usually out to steal as much information as possible, tried to break DES. A number of "white hat" hackers also tested the system and reported on their successes. Still others attacked DES because they believed it had outlived its effectiveness and was becoming increasingly vulnerable. The sum total of these efforts to use all of the possible keys to break DES over time made for a brute force attack. In 1996, the supposedly uncrackable DES was broken. In this captivating and intriguing book, Matt Curtin charts DES’s rise and fall and chronicles the efforts of those who were determined to master it.

Encryption is a process to hide the data in a secure manner. It helps the people to provide security and protect the data from unauthenticated people. For Encryption process, the user uses many algorithms but all algorithm has some pitfalls i.e. a single encryption algorithm is not efficient to provide security to the data. For removing these disadvantages user uses more than one encryption algorithm in sequence to achieve a high-security encryption method. This process is called Hybrid Encryption Method. Sometimes MD5 hash function is identified using Brute Force Attack. So user uses two encryption algorithms i.e.

MD5 and Transposition Reverse String Algorithm. Here Transposition Reverse String Algorithm reverses the hash function due to this we cannot easily identify the hash function. This approach has a fast Execution time in comparison to other hybrid approaches, so it is an optimized Hybrid Encryption Method.

MPLS is the protocol framework on which the attention of network service provider is focused as it provides privacy and unbreakable security to the users. Recently, VPNs based on MPLS have achieved quite great progress. MPLS VPN through ISP network is easier and faster. But with the development of internet technology the self security of MPLS VPN now cannot meet the enhanced requirement of the network security. So, taking the advantage of IPSec protocol for data encrypting, the security scheme of VPN is enhanced.

Recent advances in Virtual Private Network (VPN) offer great benefits to network managers, especially in terms of cost savings. VPN networks based upon IP Security (IPSec) along with a combination of MPLS is a viable alternative that is growing in popularity.Security of MPLS is a major issue There are various attacks which can break the security of MPLS technology. For example a brute force attack is a strategy used to break the confidentiality of data in MPLS Technology. So Encryption Algorithms like AES , DES, TDES which is a part of IPSec are used to secure MPLS technology against various attacks.
