Increasing the passphrase to four words would bring the odds up to 1 / 6,990,080,303,376. In magic-tunnel I believe there is a flag to change the number of words used by default. It appears that schollz/croc allows you to use your own passphrase, but not increase the default word size, that would be a good feature request.
- bscphil 6y agoYou're quite right, of course, but keep in mind that magic-wormhole is using a much smaller wordlist, and in fact only has 1 / 65536 odds by default. The people writing software in this space don't seem to believe this is a credible threat.
- psanford 6y agoYou can use whatever string you want as the passphrase for Magic Wormhole, the receiver just won't get tab completion.
- Dangeranger 6y agoHow would tab completion work in a situation like this? Are the clients exchanging information about the passphrase over the same communication channel?
