The step after classifying the cyber-attack in terms of cyber-attack scenario is to further subdivide the cyber-attack. The reason for subdivision of cyber-attacks is that even if the basic principles of cyber – attacks are the same, the conditions and vulnerabilities for the cyber-attacks are different, and the attack results and countermeasures are not the same accordingly. Also, if the cyber-attack is further subdivided and complementary measures are taken, it can be a more stable system. As a typical example, password cracking can be subdivided into keylogger attack, dictionary attack, hybrid attack, brute-force attack, and precomputed Hashes attack.

- John the Ripper is a tool for offline password cracking. Starting from a word list of likely passwords, the tool mutates potential password candidates, for instance replacing alphabet letters with similar symbols. Since short passwords of little complexity are commonly used by users, John the Ripper is frequently successful.
