Much to the dismay of would-be-hackers, huh???

Nope! a few rainbow tables run thorugh and they'd all be cracked (assuming they are alphanumeric and max 15 charactors)

**Leczyslaw** · 11-13-2008, 10:10 PM

I would be afraid they were hacking into your system and you are giving them your password

Not true at all with this site. You only get 5 failed attempts then it permanently bans your IP address. So just about any random/none specific password is extremely secure on this site.

If that ever happens, just shoot us an e-mail and we can reset your password

I just checked my password and providing you knew how many characters long it was, it would take you 200,028,539,268,669,788,905,472 guesses to get it right.

that's just a tad over the 5 limit

Disguising your mac address and setting up proxy's can get around this lol

Or simply logon on another pc!

With trillions of different combination to passwords and a 5 try limit... that's a lot of manual setting changes. Think of how long it takes to change your IP, even if you were able to do it in under a minute, it would take millions of years to get through all the combination... and I'm pretty sure the site would be down by then.

I was gonna do it til I read this, now you got me too paranoid.
