Brute force protection

Dictionary attacks have been around for a long time, but It’s still quite strong especially if you throw in a number.

A fully random 8 character password has about 10^14 brute force combinations (assuming upper and lower case + the normal special characters). 4 words choosen at random from the top 3000 words (which is a very small vocabulary really) is 10^13 dictionary attack combinations, add a single number or account for variations in word style (I.e maybe don’t always use camel case) and you’ve matched the difficulty. If you use 5 words it’s 10^17 combinations.

A password manager and a hard password is a better idea but there are cases where you can’t use a password manager (like the password to said manager).

Gentle reminder to everyone that support for #windows10 ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
3. Try a beginner friendly #Linux distro like #linuxmint. It only takes about two months to acclimate.

It’s not mandatory to have an account to run win11. Press shift+f10 during the install to open a command prompt. Enter OOBE\BYPASSNRO into the prompt, system will reboot, disconnect the internet, when it prompts you for internet click “I don’t have internet”.

Without that command, it will not let you continue without an internet connection. If you do it a lot (I do it roughly once a week) then you can modify the installer directly.

【Any PS3/Xbox 360 games that sound great with surround sound?】
I just setting up home theatre in my room and both the PS3 and Xbox 360 has been in my room and I hadn't fully played on them for years.

I know about any games would do but is there like a certain one that just stands out?

Yeah I don’t really like the series but the sound of a rocket launcher whizzing by your head was incredible. According to Google the multi-player is still hanging on too.
