Password Recovery Speeds

April 16th, 2006        

Have you ever thought how long does it takes a computer or a cluster of computer to crack password. This document shows the approximate amount of time required for a computer or a cluster of computers to guess various passwords. The figures shown are approximate and are the maximum time required to guess each password using a simple brute force “key-search” attack, it may (and probably will) be possible to guess correctly without trying all the combinations shown using other methods of attack or by having a “lucky guess”.
