So to give you an idea of how bad guys go about cracking passwords, they will steal a password file that will have all of the passwords in kind of a scrambled form, called a hash, and so what they'll do is they'll make a guess as to what a password is, run it through a hashing function, and see whether it matches the passwords they have on their stolen password list.
Kako loši momci razbijaju lozinke? Oni kradu datoteke s lozinkama koje sadrže sve lozinke u šifriranom, haširanom obliku. Tada pogađaju koja je lozinka, dešifriraju je pomoću hash funkcije kako bi vidjeli poklapa li se s lozinkama koje su prije ukradene.
