he's a noob what did you expect?

[kpac]

Weren't you a noob at some stage as well, just like everyone else? And who's the one who is complaining lately about name-calling around here?

Well, it depends on the thing you want to do with the passwords. Are they for internet sites or bank accounts? It's obvious that they aren't easy to hack by humans or the classic password tools. The most important thing is to keep them secret

I understand that but most sites require you to make a post in one area or a topic thats been made before you start your own.  I never said that, I said accusations.

I didn't count them, but the passwords at the start all had eight characters, yes?  Even with a wide character set, I don't think it would necessarily take a thousand years to brute force them - a lot depends on the responsiveness of the target system and whether it locks out password attempts etc.  A quick system with no real anti-intrustion measures - I reckon 8 character passwords would probably fall within a few months, especially if you deployed a network of attackers.  (Divide and conquer.)

Google "rainbow tables".  Illuminating.

According to michael's calculator in the link a 6 character password will last about 11 minutes under a brute force attack.

That can't be right. Like Rob said, most websites lock out after a certain amount of attemts, usually for about 15 minutes.
