If you interested in salted passwords read up about wpa encrypted wireless networks and the difference between wep and wpa.

Really quick can't be bothered to type answer is salting a password is encrypting the key.

You sure its not...

[B][B][SIZE=+1][B](26^10) bytes = 131472.103 gigabytes

No I'm not sure, I didn't put much thought into it, I trusted some math from a previous thread which was based on someone else's math (silly thorin should know better).

If it was 10 characters with 2 choices that'd be 2^10 = 1024
0000000000 thru 1111111111

If it was 2 characters with 10 choices that'd be 10^2 = 100
00 thru 99

So ya I guess I was wrong

Edit: All fixed now. A full 8 character dictionary would be ~ 95^8 or 6,178,584.24 GB.

Well if you had 10 characters with 2 choices each that'd be 10^2 = 100 or if you had 2 characters with 10 choices each that'd be 2^10 = 1024.

Ok,...so....

Why isn't it 26 choices with 10 characters...I.E...

26^10

No it was just my editing compulsion, when I went back and added the "00 thru 99" part I realized my mistake.

That I can neither confirm nor deny

26^10

Using the Permutation function in Excel, if you have a selection of 26 and length of 10, you'd end up with 19,275,223,968,000.00 combinations.

Using your formula, you'd end up with 141,167,095,653,376.00 combinations.

I can confirm I'm losing it....you seen the pics of my laptop I posted? Thats what happens when you make a home-brew Collinear Omni and use a couple of powerful amps.

Or in laymen terms..you mix an idiot and a little quote / unquote "self knowledge" ...and thats the end result. Fried lappy shish-k-bob al la mote`

And thats why I'd never use a brute forcer with any more than 6 characters ATM.
26^6 = 308,915 ,776 possibilities

because ........
26^7 = 8,031,810,176 ..........8 billion possibilities!!!
