For this assignment: (NOTE: In this assignment you should only conduct the preliminary steps and NOT the actual infiltration)

1. Identify an online group that would be a valuable target for infiltration, identify information that would assist in successfully intruding, and create a fake identity that could be used for such an infiltration
2. Research any password cracker of your choice and describe any details about it, (how it functions, length of time, etc.) You may download the cracker yourself, however, be warned that you may run the risk of downloading malware depending on where the cracker is downloaded from; only download from a trusted source. If not much known information can be provided without downloading the cracker and you do not want to download it, research a second password cracker and compare the two.
