Comment long random passwords (Score 1) 615
it seems to me, if your password is random, mixed-case alphanumeric, and fairly long, there is an added layer of security against a brute-force hash attack like this. that being that the incorrect hashes will just be jumbled strings of letters and numbers... but the correct password will be, as well.
how would such an attack differentiate the valid password from the invalid in this situation?
