[porky]

Hi guys...

I was playing a game when this popped up:




my password is pretty secure (5 digits with 2 numbers and 3 letters)

noone else knows my password...

should i be concerned?

You might want to change it just to be safe, and also scan your pc for trojans and stuff.

how do i change it?

Pretty secure, 5 digits, LOL

[porky]

26x25x24x10x9 = 1404000 possible combinations if i have 2 digits and 3 letters. I think thats pretty secure?

I had that too earlier, so i guess it's just an error.

Pretty secure, 5 digits, LOL

also this.

Wow, a whole 1.4mil?

[TheBloodyPom]

5 characters is an abysmal password length. I'm amazed S2 hasn't implemented a minimum length. Ideally any password you use you should be at least ten characters long, contain no full words or repeating patterns, and consist of numbers, letters and symbols.

Don't argue with my logic, I have an IT degree

his password confirmed for S0pr0

I could have easily spent the downtime of HoN cracking 1.4mil combinations.

His password is definitely p0r2y.

Please upload your .txt file of every possible 5 character password that includes letters and numbers. Also, the program you're using to check all of them in a reasonable amount of time.

Thanks

same thing happened to me earlier today, but my password seems way too safe for it to be anything else than a glitch

Also found this thread, this has happened before:

According to [S2]IamRoot it should be a network issue, personally I'm not sure though

Edit: Ever since that happened, I've not been able to connect to the chat servers, is that due to this issue? What can I do?

The program I'm using is Jersey Shore, I have a crack team of experts built from the cast. Also considering drafting in some Geordie Shore cast too to make it quicker.

Then we're gonna be on it like a car bonnet, game as a wood pigeon and in there like swimwear, and definitely be DTF.

Your computer does 3 billion operations per second (if we don't go into details). If a hacker gets his hands on the encrypted version of your password, then it gets cracked instantly. Using a longer password, with mixed case and nonalphanumeric characters adds many orders of magnitude. A 10-letter password with mixedupper/lowercase and other characters from your keyboard thrown in, say from 80 possible characters, is 10,737,418,240,000,000,000 combinations and not crackable by brute force today or in the visible future.

I like you. Let's be IT nerd pals.

Good job letting everyone know your pass is 5 digits with 2 numbers. I'm pretty sure someone is going to try and hack your **** now.

[Chaosmango]

bruteforce is outdated anyway
rainbow table is the future
