This project is based on the Goldman Sachs Software Engineering Virtual Experience through the Forage platform, where I worked on advanced-level tasks to simulate real-world problem-solving in the field of software engineering.
The main challenge involved breaking into a leaked password database, demonstrating advanced password cracking, data security skills, and cryptography techniques.
Detailed findings from the password cracking process, outlining potential vulnerabilities and areas for improvement.
The full password dump, showcasing successful retrieval of encrypted passwords.
A professional memo summarizing the results, including security recommendations and the impact of weak password practices.
This simulation was provided by Goldman Sachs through the Forage platform, offering a real-world scenario to enhance my software engineering and cybersecurity skills. It provided me with hands-on experience in tackling advanced security challenges.
