Password profiling is a method that focuses on generating highly targeted and specific lists of usernames and passwords likely to be used by individuals or organizations. By analyzing compromised password datasets, password profilers can identify patterns, trends, and characteristics that are unique to certain groups or communities. This information is then used to create customized lists of potential username and password combinations that are more likely to be effective in breaching specific targets.
