Abstract

The purpose of this study is to change password security by delving into the complex topography of neural networks. This research comes at a time when cyber dangers are becoming serious. In light of the fact that conventional approaches are unable to keep up with the ever-evolving difficulties of cybersecurity, gaining a knowledge of the underlying dynamics of neural networks provides a potentially fruitful option. With a particular emphasis on the activation patterns and score distributions of neural network nodes, the purpose of this research is to analyze the operational complexities of neural network nodes. Through the use of Python's deep learning capabilities, the study attempts to discover new insights into the relationship between the behaviors of neural network nodes and the development of strong passwords. Through the examination of the inner workings of these networks and the investigation of their activation patterns, the purpose of this study is to bridge the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application in the field of cybersecurity.
