Tried it with a bunch of passwords that I know my friends use (yes, they treat me like tech support) and it failed miserably with all of them.
It did however get a password that I use regularly (though not anymore) which I though was pretty complex.
So, friends with "idiot" passwords 1. Their so called computer-expert mate (me) 0.
I'm not so smug anymore.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoI've used Google before at work. We inherited a system, without inheriting the administrator passwords, that we had to work on. It was a spaghetti mess, so creating a new account didn't seem obvious, and I wasn't sure how the passwords were hashed, but they did seem md5-like to me, so I googled one. Turns out, 90% of them, including most of the admin passwords, were just four numeric characters, like 9678.
