Password Cracking Using Probabilistic Context-Free Grammars
TL;DR: This paper discusses a new method that generates password structures in highest probability order by automatically creating a probabilistic context-free grammar based upon a training set of previously disclosed passwords, and then generating word-mangling rules to be used in password cracking.

Testing metrics for password creation policies by attacking large sets of revealed passwords
TL;DR: This paper attempts to determine the effectiveness of using entropy, as defined in NIST SP800-63, as a measurement of the security provided by various password creation policies, by modeling the success rate of current password cracking techniques against real user passwords.
