12 years to crack the code required 17 134
AP Georgia Institute of Technology scientists has launched network password security research and published studies, the proposed site and the users use 12-bit code, to prevent hacking.
now common in many sites require users to log on, enter an 8-bit code, but the researchers say that this code exists in name only, because they use a set of cards in less than two hours to successfully crack the code.
17134 years to break
U.S. Cable News Network (CNN) Georgia Institute of Technology scientists to invoke the words of Joshua Davis reports: "The length of decisions password decode password ease. For the time being, should be the standard 12 character password length. "
circles some people have suggested using 11 or 13 bit encryption code, but the researchers still recommend using 12-bit code, because such a "safe and convenient." The researchers assume that a hacker using sophisticated computer technology to generate one trillion per second password combination. If you use 12-bit code, with the present technical level, the hacker would take 17,134 years to crack.
only 26 English letters, but the standard keyboard to enter letters and symbols 95. The longer the password digits, there will be way more permutations and combinations, so hackers to guess the password, the lower the probability.
Georgia Institute of Technology researchers say, the password must be longer because of computers and graphics cards running faster and faster, hackers crack the code level increased.
password longer and more complex, all to remember these passwords has become a nuisance. Some Internet security experts recommend users to use the entire phrase as your password, such as "Wisconsin's capital city is not called cheese", or are easier to remember the sentence "I have two children: Jack and Jill."
