A new study by Specops Software explores the resilience of SHA256, a commonly used cryptographic hashing algorithm, against modern password-cracking techniques. The findings emphasize the algorithm’s effectiveness in protecting data, especially when combined with strong, complex passwords. However, the research also highlights vulnerabilities when using short or simple passwords, even with this robust technology.
