How long would it take brute force to find your password?

[Cinnamon]

On just fun forums and stuff, I my passwords are alpha-numeric ones. On importand stuff, I have at least 8 characters, mixed alpha, number, & special characters. Usually they are pretty long. And I never use words such as B33r...

I guess that they won't ever be able to crack the AKO *Army Knowledge Online* passwords, they have to be 16 characters long, mixture of numbers, special characters, and upper and lower case letters. Mine is 20 characters long, for example

All passwords can be cracked given enough time.

it would take almost 8 months to crack a password like mine...unless you had a keystroke logger...who would spend that much time for a fucking password that does them no good? They can't get anything out of there. And besides, we are required to change them twice a year.

It's my school password that I would be more worried about...it's all numeric, and that's something that could fuck your whole world up

that's what Im saying...and with mine being 20 characters long, it would take almost 8 months to crack ONE password...I don't know any hacker with that kind of patience...especially when they would be napped in a matter of minutes...

its against the law in CA, or at least they must offer you an alternative # if you dont want to use your SSN as your acct number

Well my pass to webrats is 10 characters long, and its just characters. The chart only goes up to 9 characters.

On a guess if you used Class F. 1,000,000,000 Passwords/sec
Typical for medium to large scale distributed computing, Supercomputers.

then it would about 2 months plus give or take....

Still way easier to just make your own webrats accout :lolhit:
