in reply to Demonstrate Weakness of "Standard Format" Passwords

I'd also endorse this activity for when a person forgets their password or someone at work is maliciously hiding data, etc.

    diotalevi,
    That is your perogative, but not mine. There are much more effective ways of password recovery than brute force attacks. Password cracking without authorization is a precarious activity to engage in. This is all I am going to say on the matter. Legal matters aside, everyone has their own conscience to listen to.

      I figured it would go without saying that you'd only be doing this stuff if you were supposed to be. You know, if its your job to do this or something like that.
