Try John The Ripper, available from http://www.openwall.com/john/. I don't what the data is based upon, but the claim is that if it doesn't recover the password within 90 days, it will take several decades for the password to be recovered. Using a standard desktop, the formula for determining how long it takes to brute force the password is: ( n ^ PL ) / 1,000,000 = time in seconds. For a small Beowulf cluster, the formula is ( n ^ PL ) / 99,000,000,000 = time in seconds. where * n is password cardinality. This is also known as the size of the symbol space. Rephrasing, the number of letters in the case of the writing systems that are used; * PL is password length; FYI, this is why passwords in Hebrew are inherently less secure than passwords in English, which in turn, are less secure than passwords in Russian. https://app.box.com/s/aobyrwv0w33v2hxskfjtwjcvq14sovau has a spreadsheet that calculates approximate password strength, and how long it will take to brute force. (Somebody else can clean it up, and toss it into a template repository.) jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
