John Pozadzides on “how I’d hack your weak passwords.”
So, how would one use this process to actually breach your personal security? Simple. Follow my logic: You probably use the same password for lots of stuff right?… How do I know which bank you use and what your login ID is for the sites you frequent? All those cookies are simply stored, unencrypted and nicely named, in your web browser’s cache.
Interesting how a six-character password would take just over a week to crack, but an eight-character password would take more than two centuries.
What’s next?
