and ask a classical music question: Who had the most number ones, Elvis or the Beatles? That's pre-downloads. *sees if anyone gets it*

I think you meant " a classic music question". I don't think either Elvis or the Beatles were exactly famous for their classical music[^]

Doctor Who Episode entitled "42" There are a series of questions that have to be answered to get through the airlocks after the ship is in Lockdown. Trouble is the crew were drunk when they thought up the questions.

If the password hash stored is 256-bit (16 byte) (like MD5) each password except one with number of characters between 1-15 has a tween hash into 16 character password. That means 16-char password may have the security of 6 chars (even the same hash as 123456 :laugh: ). If you increase the num of characters you get even more collusions. BTW password I use for codeproject is 4% strong according to this[^]. :^)

See Here[^] I have actually banned PASSWORD from being a password. I assign all members of staff with their passwords, an example would be "Dav456id" or "Col573ette" these are safer than "Gandalf" (Which actually IS a Password on my machine for a specific purpose! Guilty As Charged Your Honour).

Note: No special characters in those passwords. Hackers, begin your work... :)
Now...bring me that horizon. And really bad eggs...Drink up me hearties, YO HO!
I usually run with a combination of size and character selections. Taking the "Gandalf" as an example mine would be: G@nd@lfTh3Wh1t3 other exampleas: >> C0rl3773Surn@m3 >> D@v1d$urn@m3 >> MyPuppy1$Qu173 stuff like that :) My standard types consist of 12+ length, 2 caps, 6 small 2special and rest numbers, all thrown together adhering to a certain "writing-layout" rule(s) I decided on.

Hehe, I believe that if I act like enough of a psycho, you'll raise your hand just to get me to leave you alone. ;P

Then again, being able to crack the passwords means having access to the stored passwords. A secure system should implement policies against dictionary attacks such as three tries and you are locked and making sure that sql injection doesnt simply serve up your login data. And of course, never actually storing the passwords themselves even encrypted. Most websites I have used simply let you try as many times as you want though so for those I use the most random string I can possibly remember and never put anything on the site that is even remotely sensitive. If it gets hacked, MEH doesn't hurt. And everyone knows real geeks use "ResistanceIsFutile" for their secure passwords. :)
