Povzetek
Although the idea of a "passwordless future" is frequently highlighted in industry discussions, passwords remain the dominant authentication method and are unlikely to disappear entirely. This seminar explores the evolution of password best practices, with an emphasis on the often-overlooked human aspects of cybersecurity. Drawing on recent research, we will examine user behavior and responses to increasingly stringent password requirements. Key concepts such as Steganography and Multifactor Authentication (MFA) and how they can help protect our digital identities will also be addressed.
In the second half of the seminar, we will delve into a practical demonstration, including a step-by-step guide to recovering a lost password from a zip archive and uncovering an old Easter Egg in a popular application that still poses significant security risks.
To fully engage with the session, participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops (Windows recommended) with the capability to run either ParrotOS or Kali Linux in a Virtual Machine.
