Environment Setup

Creating the Main Application GUI Layout

4

Setting Up Required Environments

Video lesson

Initialization and Setup

5

Designing the Full GUI Layout of the Program

Video lesson

In this lecture, we'll build a GUI for the Universal Password Cracker. We'll import necessary libraries, initialize the main window, and set up an icon. We'll create a main frame, configure styles, add attack configuration components, implement progress and log displays, and start the Tkinter main loop for a responsive user interface.

Utility Functions

6

Initial Setup: Importing Libraries, Configuring Settings, Global Variables

Video lesson

In this lecture, we'll set up our environment by importing essential libraries, initializing colorama for colored console output, configuring logging for our application, and defining global variables to manage the password cracking process. This foundational setup ensures our tool is ready for subsequent development.

UI Update Functions

7

Building Utility Functions: Resource Paths, Password Handling, Multithreading

Video lesson

In this lecture, we'll create utility functions essential for our password-cracking tool. We'll start with a function to locate bundled resources, followed by functions to try passwords on various file types (MS Office, ZIP, PDF). We'll also develop functions for multithreaded password attempts, determining file types, and reading files with different encodings. These utilities will streamline our main attack functions, making them more efficient and versatile.

Attack Functions (Brute Force, Dictionary and Reverse Brute Force Attack)

8

Updating the UI: Progress Messages, Logs, and Summarizing Results

Video lesson

In this lecture, we will create functions to update the user interface. These functions will handle updating progress messages, the main log, and the results log. Additionally, we will implement features to update the progress bar and estimated time remaining, summarize results, and reset the UI for new attacks. This ensures real-time feedback and an enhanced user experience.

GUI Setup Functions

9

Developing Attack Methods: Brute Force, Dictionary, Reverse Brute Force

Video lesson

In this section, we will develop the three types of attack functions: brute force, dictionary, and reverse brute force. Each function includes detailed logging, progress tracking, and real-time feedback mechanisms to enhance user experience and efficiency in password cracking tasks.

Main GUI Setup and Loop & Completing the Project

10

Setting Up the GUI: Dynamic Updates, File Dialogs, Managing Attacks

Video lesson

In this section, we have developed key functions to enhance the graphical user interface (GUI) for our password cracker tool. These functions handle UI updates, file selection, attack initiation, stopping attacks, and managing window closure. They ensure a user-friendly and efficient interaction with the application.

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
