i just like the color coding implying that a password that takes 64,000 years to bruteforce is only "orange" level of secure.

I think you'll find that this chart fits the thread a little better. (I posted it in the thread years ago but this seems a fantastic time for an encore.)



And hey, the source is still up. Click through for a few more fantastic charts on the same topic.

It is "orange" level of secure because computers get better at brute-forcing passwords over time (i.e. faster), so eventually every password on this chart will have a time of "instantly" but it will take longer for the trillion-year ones to get there than the thousand-years.

The usual standard for new encryption algorithms is that if every atom in the universe was incorporated into a machine that was many orders of magnitude faster than any computer we could possibly project being actually built, it would still be effectively impossible to brute-force a random key.

This, of course, does not prevent idiots from using their kid's birthdate or their pet's name as their password.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Russia

"European Russia covers the vast majority of Eastern Europe, and spans roughly 40% of Europe's total landmass, with over 15% of its total population, making Russia the largest and most populous country in Europe."

Emphasis mine

Yeah, "Europe" extends way further east than a lot of people (well, a lot of Americans at least) tend to think. I'm not immune to it either -- in sixth grade geography class, I recall that the Europe maps in the book pretty much ended at Romania, and anything to the right of that was just a purple blob labeled "USSR" extending off the edge of the map.

:colbert: Fixed. Lines of latitude are curved on this projection; Oregon and South Dakota both have land further north than anything in New York or Vermont. (Wyoming misses out on this party by barely a mile.)

Why are they doing this? I just don't understand.

Serious answer for anyone encountering this for the first time: the Monty Hall problem is a mathematical puzzle that's loosely based on an old game show called Let's Make a Deal (hosted by Monty Hall, hence the name), in which contestants would sometimes be offered a blind trade for whatever prizes they'd already won: "Will you give back the dining-room set in exchange for what's behind Door Number One?" Behind the door might be a more valuable prize (e.g. a new car), or nothing at all (symbolized by a goat).

The appeal of the puzzle is that a simple game-show choice scenario, which seems at first like it should be a perfect 50-50 coin flip, is actually heavily weighted in one direction.

With oodles* of real cheese!

* The "oodle" has not been officially defined as a measurement unit, and the actual presence of cheese should not be inferred due to its use here.

Perhaps you simply need a shorter partner.
