Passwords. Get an idea of how long it will take to crack yours.

Online Attack Scenario:
A tiny variation of my most secure password that I know from memory:

(Assuming one thousand guesses per second) 9.88 hundred million trillion trillion centuries
Offline Fast Attack Scenario:
(Assuming one hundred billion guesses per second) 9.88 trillion trillion centuries
Massive Cracking Array Scenario:
(Assuming one hundred trillion guesses per second) 9.88 billion trillion centuries


My throw away password:
Online Attack Scenario:
(Assuming one thousand guesses per second) 2.56 years
Offline Fast Attack Scenario:
(Assuming one hundred billion guesses per second) 0.806 seconds
Massive Cracking Array Scenario:
(Assuming one hundred trillion guesses per second) 0.000806 seconds

i also recognised it. i remember using shields up years ago, to test your firewall.

Massive Cracking Array Scenario:
(Assuming one hundred trillion guesses per second) 2.29 minutes :eek:

must make it stronger ;)
 
Massive Cracking Array Scenario:
(Assuming one hundred trillion guesses per second) 2.22 seconds

Not that bad, I doubt a supercomputer array would like to see what I had though haha :D,
 
How would a computer test every password out in the first place? Most websites only let you input a few inccorect passwords before they start requiring CAPTCHA codes, etc.
 
Massive Cracking Array Scenario:

passwords with credit card details/other important stuff: 8.52 hundred thousand centuries
favourite forums: 1.44 hours
my POS laptop: 0.0000224 seconds

brb, heading back home to change laptop password
 
Hmmmm ... well a password of the sort I would tend to use at work seems to take 1.83 years on the cracking array (pity that time would be wasted as (a) after a handful of attempts the account would be locked and (b) it would have to be changed multiple time during that period).

I find it interesting that if I just put in an email address with .com changed to .C0M it would take 11.52 thousand trillion centuries on the cracking array ... but using that would still be a silly idea ...
 
Online Attack Scenario:
(Assuming one thousand guesses per second) 4.37 million trillion centuries
Offline Fast Attack Scenario:
(Assuming one hundred billion guesses per second) 43.72 billion centuries
Massive Cracking Array Scenario:
(Assuming one hundred trillion guesses per second) 43.72 million centuries

Secure :)
 
Online Attack Scenario:
(Assuming one thousand guesses per second) 19.24 million centuries
Offline Fast Attack Scenario:
(Assuming one hundred billion guesses per second) 19.24 years
Massive Cracking Array Scenario:
(Assuming one hundred trillion guesses per second) 1.00 weeks


One week :Z
 
I use 1Password, set to generate 16 digit passwords with 2 symbols, random capitalisation and numbers.. I don't even know my forum password as the app auto-fills it in for me.

For referenced, one of my passwords is: E*neyWMDoc99AL.X
