Re: [CentOS] an actual hacked machine, in a preserved state

2012-01-03 Thread Pete Travis
ntelligent brute forcing tool could be making some assumptions about the minimum length and complexity of your password, and ruling out the dictionary words and strings based on them happens quickly. The next guess has the same rough odds of being correct as the 100563674th guess. Of course, no amount of guessing will succeed on a system that doesn't accept passwords. System security, in terms of probability, seems to be an 'every little bit helps' sort of endeavour.
