@Dashrender is it wise to consider that a social or mental handicap may effect their ability to be wise?

So wise men are only wise when they are always wrong and willing to admit defeat?

Not if that wise man is a know it all and will either yell at you until he realizes he's wrong and vanishes into a puddle of his own sorrow and shame.

LOL this is gold

Whats the cost of admission? Who are the vendors? Who are the key speakers? Which conference place?

I just started reading a ruby on rails book, I was curious what you thought of http://www.sublimetext.com/ the dude in the book is raving about it.

Side note, I think I'll be doing all my trial and error in a VM, the windows software seems a bit like crap lol.

And I just installed Eset on an updated computer. But, because it can coincide deal me in. One of my customers came to me with Webroot installed and it did a much better job than his Norton equipped PC.

What? I'm just going to throw this out there, only install one anti-virus on a computer at a time... they can't coincide...

Webroot is the exception.

Learn something new every day.... thanks AJeZilla

The reason 4 random words > 1 word in terms of a dictionary attack, or at best a hybrid attack, is based on the fact that 1 word, or 2 words may exist in a dictionary list, but 3 or 4 combined do not exist. A standard dictionary list reads from a list of predetermined potential passwords, everywhere from Mickey1 to Jones1, total crap. Combine the 2 words MickeyJones1 and you'd have to preform a brute-dictionary attack... which as far as I'm aware... doesn't exactly exist. Could it be written? Sure... but wouldn't that be clunky and really hog memory for no reason?

You're stuck with brute force which a 12 character pass would take quite a while.

I expect that it exists somewhere - people are always looking for ways of improving attacks, but even an elegant, hybrid dictionary attack is going to be insanely hard to execute. As the length gets longer, the overall complexity just skyrockets. This length also makes Rainbow Tables ineffective (with today's technology.)

Exactly my point, assuming you were to make a software that does that, and assuming you were using the top 100,000 passwords list (which who doesn't?) extending the potential passwords by a factor of one increases the complexity exponentially. 100,000^X, a 4 word password would have 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 potential combinations, at a billion guesses a second would take 100,000,000,000 seconds, or over 31 years

Found this... but you deleted the post...

@thanksaj bro just joking with you, learn to take a joke champ, I haven't done any trolled you in a while dude.
