Subject: Re: brute force attack of an Unix crypt

Bartavelle, I see. Now I understand what those "c/s" values are :) In
order to try all possibilities, it would take 226 years:

(95^8)/930000/3600/24/365

..and thus in average password should be cracked with 113 years using
my CPU. I stopped this cracking process :)

martin
