Message-ID: <1328227116.2313.8.camel@k> Date: Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:58:36 +0100 From: Per Thorsheim <per@...rsheim.net> To: john-users@...ts.openwall.com Subject: Minimum Password Length POO Sorry if I'm way out of line here, posting this to john-users: I've played a little game of "Create a normal sentence with minimum 4 words using the lowest number of unique letters - in any existing language" on Twitter: @thorsheim I guess nothing new really, but I'm really interested in once again listening to the expertise of john-users on minimum password length recommendations, based on crazy ideas off the new "Pile of Poo" Unicode 6.0 U+1F4A9 character. Using the Dumb16 and Dumb32 modes, I'm curious about keyspace calculations and configuration examples for john on how to do dictionary +"common Unicode characters" attacks. Like using the U+2665 "Black Heart Suit" character (Windows UTF-8 Times New Roman font, NO kb layout) to separate "I" from "insert name of loved one here".
