#10 seems wrong. Atria don't leak into ventricles as they fill, unless you've got a valvular defect.

8 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 1

And sorry they do, the job of the atria is literally to fill the ventricles

Yes but not at the same time they themselves are being filled. Watch the animation closer to see what darklordpotter is referencing.

No, I'm pretty sure it's just showing how individual particles move in a wave, and has nothing to do with the moon.

It is, and it's a simplified model since waves usually aren't that precise and tidy, but is the most dominant mode of movement.

Something like "Compl3xity" would take minutes, not years.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

not necessarily. if it was "Complexity", then yes, it would take a matter of minutes, if not seconds, to crack it using a dictioary attack.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Numbers will depend on many factors... So this might b a possibility

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Why do you think the numbers are way off?

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

A password like "Coml3xity" would cracked in a matter of minutes, not years. After basic dictionary cracks, simple substitutions are tried.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Yes... But I would assume they're showing numbers for brute forcing at a certain processor speed so their numbers aren't really 'way off'...

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

When doing pure brute force(no rainbow tables/wordlists) with no masking(assumptions based on common passwords), the figures seem realistic.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I read that 8 characters (using upper/lowercase, numbers and symbols) would take a couple days. I guess it's gotten a lot faster now.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Yeah 8 chars you could crack with a decent gpu and hashcatOCL at home. The 14 char DoD minimum length w/ complexity increases exponentially

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The important part is the "final note". Complexity is just as important as length.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Complexity protects you from the initial dictionary attack, length protects you from the latter brute force guessing attack.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It doesn't say that. The whole point of that article is that length is more important than complexity. The final note says not to put dots..

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

One suggestion I have heard is to use 5 or 6 words that are not very frequent as a password

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Not exactly. Most password cracking tools will already make known substitutions (0 for o). You want a longer password, not a complex one

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That would probably work, a brute force attack would try every character in every place, so it would take a while to crack

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

A system vulnerable to brute force attacks - no forced delay that gets longer, no lock after x failed tries etc. - is not safe anyway.

DogDogDogDogDogDogDogDogDog. This is a long password but can be cracked rather fast, as its effective length is only 9 words.

Right, but who is going to guess that your password is the word dog 9 times over instead of a 10 character password?

Password cracking using dictionaries software will do that.
