![How secure is your password? [880x880 - 1.02MB]](https://pic8.co/sh/zHlpLg.png){kind=link}
If that were brute force the only thing that would matter would be length. The character complication of the password is irrelevant to it's strength against brute force.
Wrong. The extra class of characters adds more combinations. For example, an 8 character password of just lowercase letters = 268. Add in uppercase and you get 528. It's the difference between 5 seconds and 22 minutes per the chart.
None of what you stated makes any difference to what I said.
Yes it adds more complication, but it adds more complication to every length password. So to get t 123456789 you would have to test every 8 length password combination with this new class of characters.
The literal ONLY thing that matters with resepect to brute force is password length. That's it.
None of what you stated makes any difference to what I said.
You're fucking retarded. I gave you basic math that matches the chart that shows it is using brute force to come up with the numbers. You were wrong. That is all.
Do you know what brute force is?
It starts at length 1 passwords and tries every character from the set of allowable characters. Then for length 2 passwords it tries again but for every combination. Etc.
A character set of size 4 will have a search space of 4n where n = max password length.
A character set of size 5 will have a search space of 5n where n = max password length.
Increasing the character set doesn't change the FACT that for brute force to even start trying my password of length n EVERY single combination of passwords of length 1 through (n-1) has to be checked first.
You are so fucking retarded dude. Brute force is literally BRUTE FORCE. It ONLY attempts solution by exhaustion. It uses ZERO additional tricks or other methods to guess the password besides that.
Well dictionary attack first!!!
Then it's not brute force.
And because the retarded coward has blocked me from being able to reply to his comments, I will put the reply to his last post here:
Do you know what brute force is?
Yes, you fucking retard. That's why the numbers I gave matches what is given in the chart.
It starts at length 1 passwords and tries every character from the set of allowable characters. Then for length 2 passwords it tries again but for every combination. Etc.
So? How does that change the math behind adding an additional character set?
A character set of size 4 will have a search space of 4n where n = max password length. A character set of size 5 will have a search space of 5n where n = max password length.
Congratulations, you repeated the math I already gave, proving yourself wrong.

I never said it did. I was responding to YOUR wrong statement: "If that were brute force the only thing that would matter would be length. The character complication of the password is irrelevant to it's strength against brute force."
You can shut the fuck up now.
