 # StopGuessing
 A system for protecting password-based authentication systems from online-guessing attacks.
+
+#What is Password Guessing Attacks?
+Password guessing attacks are separated into two categories:
+
+1. Dictionary Attack: where the system uses a dictionary of common words to identify the password.
+
+2. Brute Force Attack: where the system tries every possible combination of passcodes until it finds the correct one. 
+
+#What Does StopGuessing Do?
+StopGuessing protects password guessing attacks by keeping track of the number of failed attempts as well as the most recent login attempts. 
+
+Failed attempts with invalid passwords will receive a penalty whereas successful attempts with the correct password will be rewarded.
+
+#How To Use
+1. Download the zip file or clone the repository on your machine
+2. Navigate to the directory where StopGuessing is downloaded and click on the Visual Studio Solution to open the project.
