You don't need to use all those combinations. Just use a phrase and change whichever characters you wish as long as it is at least 2.

UPDATE

As I said earlier I'm involved on the ethical side of things in a small way.

We are are presently testing a platform that currently (not at full speed) can make 1.700.000 guesses at any password per second!

That would mean that a standard 8 letter (same case) ISP router password would only take a maximum of
36 hrs to find.

Just saying. ;)


A ray of hope for you though, a passwrord made up of 10 letters including 1 capital letter and 1 number would at a rate of 10.000.000 guesses per second take 256 days to crack. Who's going to bother with poor old you at that rate?

Further to my last post, still not at full speed but with a few tweaks here's where we are so far.

This is taken after 5mins runtime.

That's just over 13 hours for an 8 letter same case password. =O =O =O

EDIT As it happens we got lucky with this one as it turned out to be within 25% of the total keyspace and was cracked in 3hrs 45mins.

Funnily enough I was working in an area of Norwich (UK) where there was an SSID of "Survailance Van". It didn't bother me though I was just working there. =O :LOL
