Fezmid Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Do the dictionary attacks use the common misspellings of words too? Yeah, they do... In addition, if your Windows password is less than 15 characters long, it's easy to break using a Rainbow Table due to the crappy way that Windows stores the passwords. It splits the password into two 7-character chunks, which are easily broken.

Chef Jim Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 At this point, probably. Though I'm now wondering if dictionary attacks include words such as "retatta". Thanks Tom, now I have to go and change all my !@#$ing passwords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
