Preventing Brute Force Attacks
Posted: Tue Nov 29, 2011 4:19 pm
Hi Paul and Members:
Does the AESCrypt provide mechanism to prevent Brute Force Attack or password-cracking attack? Since user supplied password is used for encrypting and also as password protect, if someone uses sophisticated way of cracking password, the encrypted file can be opened.
If AESCrypt does not prevent that, my second question is: Are there any restrictions on password length and type?
Thank you,
Sri
