So I figured a change would be good.
I’ve been blogging some stuff here (as you’ve seen) and realized that I was still using my overly secure admin account. While there is nothing wrong with that (seeing as how I’ve got a 16 character password on it), when other people comment on my blog entries it says “Admin posted…” instead of my actual name.
So I fixed that and added a new user for myself so I dont have to use the admin account anymore. For those of you who may be looking for another account to take over or hijack…. good luck. Maybe to help you out on your brute force attempts I’ll give you some clues.. my password is 16 characters long, contains upper case and lower case letters, numbers, special characters, and extended ASCII characters.
So, with that said. The only reason I bring that up is this…
If you had a password cracker on ONE computer, doing 200 thousand password attempts per second, and my password was ONLY lowercase, it would take your computer 7010150287 YEARS. To guess.
Now lets say you’re an uber hacker and have 100 computers doing the same thing.. it would take 70101503 years.
Okay, so that’s fun. Now.. I have a 16 Character password, with the aforementioned stats, it would take your 100 computers 83655305534090900 years.
Have Fun! Oh, if you want the link to the resource for that Here You Go!
