PassGAN: A Deep Learning Approach for Password Guessing
I suppose this is a good place to ask this question.<p>How much truth is there to the fairly famous XKCD comic &quot;correct horse battery staple&quot; in this scenario. Isn&#x27;t it possible that random word combinations, if they were common in passwords, could be guessed relatively early in a password hash brute force attack?<p>Especially considering we are talking about apparently billions of attempts per second.<p>Second question, is it true that placing restrictions on the password such as that it must include a capital letter, a special character, and be 8 characters long. Also reduces the time it takes to crack because the algorithm can simply dump a huge amount of possible answers?
