Hackers often spare no effort in coming up with new ways to achieve their duplicitous ends, and some could very well use ChatGPT with such unscrupulous intent.
With cleverly written prompts, they may indeed be able to obtain the passwords of some individuals, at least those who have chosen something related to their own life as a source of inspiration.Computer security specialists, like Check Point, have already tested the approach. In fact, just by giving information about someone, or referring to their online biography, ChatGPT is able to imagine examples of passwords that this person could use based on their life, hobbies, preferences, etc.
However, an artificial intelligence specifically dedicated to password cracking has been available on GitHub for a few years now. PassGan has been fed with machine learning from a database of several hundred million passwords. So far, it has been found that around half of “classic” passwords can be cracked in less than a minute, 35% in less than an hour, and 71% in less than a day. The more complex the chosen password is, the longer it will take to crack, even for a well-trained artificial intelligence.
