My Dream Supercar – a McLaren

This is a 2015 McLaren 650S Spider

In my dream though, I’m happy with any McLaren model.

So many new blog headers.

This model has ready… $100,000 IN OPTIONS.

Mine would have the least features, in fact, I’d pay more to have things deleted.

And not covered in carbon fiber.

I like them best because they’re subtle.

Ferrari is so flash, Lambo too, this is more understated.

Engine Specs

A twin turbo V8 outputting 641 hp and 500 lb.ft.
7-speed automatic
Top speed – 333 km/h
0 – 100 km/h in 3.0 seconds

Phft.

Below is one of my best pics in a while.

 

 

 

Why an 8-Character Password is Not Enough

Take a common password8 characters in length, composed of 1 word, 1 numbers and 1 punctuation mark:

The Attack

Using a script (a program that automatically executes tasks instead of a human), the script starts to guess all possible 8-character password combinations. This will take about 3 days.

This is a brute force attack – very little elegance, just plain old grinding it out.

The More Sophisticated Attack

Using a dictionary attack, again the attacker runs a script, but this time instead of random guessing, dictionaries of words are tried first, specifically, the most common password words are tried.

The Defence

Choose 3 obscure words, string them into a sentence separated by punctuation and numbers.
