There’s no one specific way to crack a password. It all depends on the implementation. The most basic case is just storing the password in plaintext, and plenty of companies are more than happy to do that. Passwords don’t exist as some separate entity, they’re attached to a system. So cracking an Adobe password might be easy, but cracking a Dropbox password incredinly hard.

I suppose. I was thinking of just hashing all known passwords and plausible passwords and locking any accounts that matched.
