My work password is 6 hours.Ahh you beat me to it!
My main password is 93 million years.
My forums password is 12 years.
My [first] bank password is 106 years. Ironically my bank password is the shortest of them all.
My weakest password takes 32 seconds to crack. Haaaa that's an eye opener.
My wireless key is 717 quattuorvigintillion years.
Please could you point out a system where the facility to decrypt a password exists
^ Ah you've read the same article as me. It was published a while ago, and it pretty much said the same thing.
I was going to say something similar - but then every now and again you come across a really stupid site that enforces a maximum password length or disallows certain special characters or something else which generally indicates the site owners don't know how to code properly.
http://howsecureismypassword.net/ load it up. Then go offline.can someone recommend an offline password strength checker please?
this site/tool is interesting:This assumes 10,000,000 password tries per second - I can't help but think that's not very possible, even for a local file. If each password is 4-bytes, that's 40MB of passwords per second - good-luck getting that up a broadband connection
But this is why sites should hash and salt the password.However if an attacker ever gets access to your password hash then you are pretty much done for unless it is a really secure password...

My GPU can average around 2.5billion password attempts a second with a local file...And it isn't even the fastest GPU you can get, also you could bundle several GPUs together to produce faster results.
Interesting, but you are going to struggle to find a system that will accept 2.5 billion attempts a second
However the thing we have on our side is that passwords we have are usually used on remote sites..which you would hope restrict the number of attempts per second and time you out after X amount of seconds.
Just thought I would res this thread as I have been doing some investigation into password/encryption hacking and it is so easy if you have a password of 12 characters of less all lower case.
No system worthy of its name would allow a single-case password - throwing in upper case and numbers bumps up the complexity significantly.
