Terrifying study shows how fast #AI can #crack your #passwords
51% of all common passwords were cracked in less than one minute, 65% in less than an hour, 71% in less than a day, and 81% in less than a month. They used new #password #cracker #PassGAN (password generative adversarial network) to process over 15M credentials from the Rockyou dataset. Only passwords with 18 characters that include both letters and numbers were found to be safe from AI cracking for now.

@trusttrist We've been able to crack 7 character passwords that quickly for a LONG time, and much faster than #PassGAN, well before PassGAN was a thing. The math is very straightforward, and PassGAN is actually a step backwards. Here's an example of the math: https://www.grc.com/haystack.htm

Move along, nothing to see here. At this moment in time, anyway.

>AI #cracking is on par with conventional methods, but you'd be forgiven for thinking otherwise.

This quote summarizes the article succinctly:

>As with so many things involving AI, the claims are served with a generous portion of smoke and mirrors.

#PassGAN isn't really doing anything new we haven't already been doing with Markov chains when it comes to password cracking. Don't buy into the hype.

“Oh dear @9to5mac @michaelpotuck & homesecurityheroes, this isn't a "study". https://t.co/sWt87DnWUN An AI would use 2 million years to crack my test password "per thorsheim" (my name)? 🤣 Talk to people like @jmgosney, read articles by @dangoodin001 & attend #PasswordsCon”

Vi kommer givetvis att prata om skrämselrubrikerna kring #PassGAN i podden på fredag, men för er som redan vill veta varför det är en icke-nyhet har @dangoodin skrivit en artikel: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/04/the-passgan-ai-password-cracker-what-it-is-and-why-its-mostly-hype/.
