it would take 1,873,469,891 nonillion years to break my password…which isnt really my password its just “midnight1234567891000000″ (continue 0′s until it maxs out) but my real password would take about 11 years and my 2nd password would take 3 days lol…time to change that one xD btw i used http://howsecureismypassword.net/

A cool tool for every body

Script writer here,

To answer a few questions:

1) 238 nontillion is the highest you can get on the howsecureisyourpassword.net website, but that’s just because I put a max-length on the textbox. I may remove it at some point.

2) Currently it takes 10,000,000 calculations a second as a benchmark, which is what a Dual Core processor could do. The jQuery plugin lets you set this to whatever you want. I plan to add automatic performance change based on what year it is soon.

About to update the site (jQuery plugin already updated) so that it takes common passwords into account too.

It’s not going to be massively accurate in any case, but I think it’s more helpful than “Weak” or “Strong” as it gives you a sense of the massive security difference between a 6 letter password and a 9 letter password.

Neat script, I wonder how accurate that prediction tool is considering how computing performance has increased.

Figure two over clocked quad core xeon processors would take to crack any code…

Looks like that’s the limit of the script…
