Linux Obsolete Password Hash Risks

Obsolete password hashes on Linux expose users to brute force attack. Legacy password hashes have included MD5 which can have billions of attempts a second tried against it by GPU based crackers. Attackers can quickly crack these legacy hashes and use the credentials for lateral movement. In this video we discuss this threat on Linux and how to identify it.
