That's only if you have a weak password. I used a brute force on a 7 character password that had upper/lower alpha, numeric, and a special character. It took my PC 2 weeks to crack it! If you use more than 7 characters, the amount of time grows exponentially. If you seed the hash, it throws another wrench in the hacker's wheels. And like Ryan said, once they do finally get the password (are we talking months now?), they have to start working on the user name. ------------ [INFO] -- Access Manager: This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
