“…To address the problem of non-differentiability of the password discrete data sampling process, works [ 44 , 45 ] used Gumbel-Softmax [ 46 ] relaxation technique to train the GAN-based password guessing model. In addition, an alternative solution is provided in the work [ 44 ], which uses a smooth representation of the real password obtained by an additional autoencoder. In contrast, ref.…”

Recently, many password guessing algorithms have been proposed, seriously threatening cyber security. In this paper, we systematically review over thirty methods for password guessing published between 2016 and 2023. First, we introduce a taxonomy for classifying the existing methods into trawling guessing and targeted guessing. Second, we present an extensive benchmark dataset that can assist researchers and practitioners in successive works. Third, we conduct a bibliometric analysis to present trends in this field and cross-citation between reviewed papers. Further, we discuss the open challenges of password guessing in terms of diverse application scenarios, guessing efficiency, and the combination of traditional and deep learning methods. Finally, this review presents future research directions to guide successive research and development of password guessing.
