We are still recovering from DEFCON (just finished press conference
#1, onto #2 now)

We have released the first set of stats/information from the contest:

Here are the "answers":

Most relevant - how they were created.

Those are the john the ripper rules used to CREATE the contest.

In the next few weeks, Id us, as a community, to try to improve these rules
and hopefully incorporate them into everyone's rules. The represent years
of password analysis of over 3 million passwords from environments
that enforce password complexity.
