Security: It's official Frank Sinatra was a genius
Posted: 10 Dec 2012, 00:43
I have checked a bit regarding passwords again and on the way I found out that J4fS<2 is pretty safe - it would take 219 years to brutforce it so even if the hacker is patient, he would die before he found out about your password....
The calculation is based on what common web servers can handle: 100 sign-in requests per second.
So that is good - but you will forget that password after one minute, so you would write it down and put the note under the keyboard - where nobody would think of looking
So that makes it insecure again.
As we have suggested here before use sentences in a dialect that you will not find in any dictionary. But even if you use plain words and use three words it is extremely safe:
this is fun - as a password would take 2537 years to crack! ...And you would remember it
But wait...
Wait for it.....
du-bi-dubi-dub will take 531,885,448,467 years to brut-force!
I knew it!: Frank Sinatra was a genius
But then again the IBM Sequoia can handle 16,32 trillion floating points per second. ...So can anyone with a calculator please figure out how long it would take then?
