You have 24 hours buddy...that's it
Also I have just done a back up and am about to do another one.... How much "time" do you need??

That's an unreasonable demand. I'm attacking a hash, not an account. Real hackers don't have time limits, since all the cracking is done on their own machines.

What do you mean "backup". I'm not going to hack your computer, I'm trying to break your forum password from the hash...

Ok with the PM of results but Will post that you had cracked it....Also I view my passwords as rather inane and simple...as would most on this forum think theirs are. Should be interesting?

Just FYI, I'm not going to publish the password if I crack it. I'll just let everyone know I cracked it, and you can verify it. I might give away certain details about it (i.e the length) if that is ok.

I'm suspicious of any article written by a fascist about "better" passwords. Anyone else reckon Tiberius has some hacker program for breaking his "passphrases" in 10 seconds?

No worries Tiberius! Thumb up Go for it!


It is not YOU that I am worried about... BACKUP IS part of the overall security programme yes?? Just that I am on the cycle of changing my passwords and backup and deep virus scans etc etc... I may be only office Bitch level but I take my Internet Security seriously. Big Grin

Not very seriously if you are allowing an admitted HACKER to crack your password. He'll probably sell it online, but if you want to be stupid, go ahead.

You are just childish Anarch...Tiberius cracked your modem in what 10 minutes??

I asked him to crack this site prior to me changing everything...nothing more.
