Jeff,
It does help a lot!
It removed about 200 years of computing, at my actual speed, in the 6 characters range alone :)
(Thanks to Magnum, OpenCL is working like a charm)
Instead of waiting until AD 2414 to ask you again, could you please answer the following, we might be able to shave another century or two ;)
The name of the game is to refine the keyspace as much as we can.
Have you used, or do you generally use the following patterns?
Just answer Yes/No/
If not *Absolutely* certain, please answer IDK (I don’t know)
2 digits in a row, i.e 66
3 digits in a row, i.e 666
4 digits in a row, i.e 1970
2 signs in a row, i.e @@
3 signs in a row, i.e !!!
4 signs in a row, i.e @@!!
2 digits in the same password i.e 1Password9
3 digits in the same password i.e P1ass4word8
4 digits in the same password i.e P1a2s3s4word
2 signs in the same password i.e P@...rd
3 signs in the same password i.e P@...ord
4 signs in the same password i.e P@...*rd
Doubling a word, i.e JeffJeff
Shifting patterns, one ch. to the right or left >> Hello >> Jr;;p
Inverting a word, i.e password >> drowssap
and anything you can think of …
Thanks,
K.
