Wow, I am surprised about the &quot;aaa...&quot; password. Thanks for clearing that up.<p>When I asked how useful this was, I assumed the organisms were removed from the front of the list. If you keep everything, then yes I can see how this can be used to crack passwords. It&#x27;s not clear to me how it would be useful otherwise, as which organisms stay in the list is not homogeneously random, and so one organism might be quite unlucky (even though its offspring could have been very successful).<p>So basically this can be viewed as an accelerated brute-force of long&#x2F;complex passwords?
