- JorgeGT 8y agoI was puzzled about why would someone spend power cracking this, but apparently Troy was as well: > One of the things that did surprise me a little in V1 was the effort some folks went to in order to crack the passwords. I was surprised primarily because the vast majority of those passwords were already available in the clear via the 2 combo lists I mentioned earlier anyway, so why bother? Just download the (easily discoverable) lists! The penny that later dropped was that it presented a challenge - and people like challenges!
