Practical Password Recovery on an MD5 Challenge and Response
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper shows an attack against APOP protocol which is a challenge-and-response protocol. We utilize the Wang’s attack to make collisions in MD5, and apply it to APOP protocol. We confirmed that the first 3 octets of secret key can be recovered by several hundred queries under the man-in-the-middle environment.

Practical key-recovery attack against APOP, an MD5-based challenge-response authentication
Hash functions are used in many cryptographic constructions under various assumptions, and the practical impact of collision attacks is often unclear. In this paper, we show how collisions can be used to recover part of the password used in the APOP authentication protocol. Since we actually need a little more than mere collisions, we look into the details of MD5 collisions. In Wang’s attack, m...
متن کاملHow to Break EAP-MD5
We propose an efficient attack to recover the passwords, used to authenticate the peer by EAP-MD5, in the IEEE 802.1X network. First, we recover the length of the used password through a method called length recovery attack by on-line queries. Second, we crack the known length password using a rainbow table pre-computed with a fixed challenge, which can be done efficiently with great probabilit...
متن کاملFast password recovery attack: application to APOP
In this paper, we propose a fast password recovery attack to APOP application in local which can recover a password with 11 characters in less than one minute, recover a password with 31 characters extremely fast, about 4 minutes, and for 43 characters in practical time. These attacks truly simulate the practical password recovery attacks launched by malware in real life, and further confirm th...
متن کاملGPU-Based High Performance Password Recovery Technique for Hash Functions
Due to the development of GPGPU (General Purpose Graphic Processing Unit) technology, GPU has been applied in many computation tasks as accelerators. In this paper, a new password recovery technique for the standardized hash functions, MD5 and SHA1, are proposed by combining the optimization methods on GPU. The performance on AMD HD7970 is 2615 mc/s for SHA1 and 6877 mc/s for MD5, which is 10 t...
متن کاملIMAP/POP AUTHorize Extension for Simple Challenge/Response
While IMAP4 supports a number of strong authentication mechanisms as described in RFC 1731, it lacks any mechanism that neither passes cleartext, reusable passwords across the network nor requires either a significant security infrastructure or that the mail server update a mail-system-wide user authentication file on each mail access. This specification provides a simple challenge-response aut...
