Here is an interesting article about a product that apparently is getting very good and very fast at guessing passwords made from various phrases.
“thereisnofatebutwhatwemake”
As I understand it, if your password is phrase from just about anything on the internet, this thing has a good shot at guessing it. Even if it comes from some obscure phrase in a play written in 1810 about Venezuelan Beaver Cheese farmers.
Here is a quote from the article about how one very obscure phrase was cracked:
If it's on the Internet, it's vulnerable.

Here is a quote from the article about how one very obscure phrase was cracked:
a security researcher who recently completed his MSc thesis on modern password cracking, was able to crack the password "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn1." That's the fictional occult phrase from the H.P. Lovecraft short story The Call of Cthulhu. It would have been impossible to use a brute-force attack or even a combined dictionary to crack a phrase of that length. But because the phrase was contained in this Wikipedia article, it wound up in a word list that allowed Chrysannthou to crack the phrase in a matter of minutes.
If it's on the Internet, it's vulnerable.
