[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 7678473, member: 114"] You are not up to date on the current state of the art in cracking hashes. 1. Nobody uses rainbow tables any more. quicker to attempt to crack the hashes (using hashcat) 2. It isn't a simple thing for script kiddies to do - it takes some smarts to crack hashes 3. as long as people have used sensible hashing algorithms, and your password is long enough. Some hash algorithms which used to be popular are now badly broken. But there are modern hashing algorithms which make attempting to crack hashes much more difficult by making the hashes computationally expensive or memory expensive to crack - the latter being particularly important in the era of massive parallel graphics card based cracking, which crunches CPU really well. 4. If you've got a password which is 8 characters or less, you're toast. If your password is 12 characters of more and any decent kind of hashing today your pretty much safe today. If your password is 16 characters or more you're likely to be safe for at least the next 6 years. Sadly too many companies focus on silliness like upper and lower case, including numbers and special characters but don't allow the one thing that makes a really significant differnce which is length, length and length. Mind you, I always recommend anyone to NOT store card details on third party sites if you can possibly avoid it. Best to be sure! [/QUOTE]
