SCAPE is a novel password-guessing method that extends Probabilistic Context-Free Grammar (PCFG) based approaches by introducing context awareness through word embeddings and similarity search. Evaluated on real-world datasets, including RockYou and various forum leaks, SCAPE consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods. Our results show that combining classic NLP techniques with semantic similarity search is a powerful and efficient strategy for password guessing in cybersecurity applications.

摘要

SCAPE is a novel password-guessing method that extends Probabilistic Context-Free Grammar (PCFG) based approaches by introducing context awareness through word embeddings and similarity search. Evaluated on real-world datasets, including RockYou and various forum leaks, SCAPE consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods. Our results show that combining classic NLP techniques with semantic similarity search is a powerful and efficient strategy for password guessing in cybersecurity applications.
