Like Slav answered before, there isn't. Try teaching your users (or yourself) using "passphrases" - sentences that are actual passwords - using all kinds of characters like ,.#! and things of that nature. The longer those sentences/passwords are, the harder to crack (=more time/resources) they are. cheers, Florian -- Microsoft MVP - Windows Server - Group Policy. eMail: prename [at] frickelsoft [dot] net. blog: http://www.frickelsoft.net/blog.

Guest Richard Urban Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Brute force can crack any password, given the time and resources. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) <info@wurstkonverter.de> wrote in message news:f754lf$tlq$01$1@news.t-online.com... > Can anyone tell me a PW-generator, which creates PWs not crackable with > brute force? > Quote
Guest S. Pidgorny Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 There's just one other thing: computer cannot determine "crackability" of a password better than a human. So if you believe that your password or passphrase is strong (while being aware of existing brute force techniques) - it probably is. My smart card is better anyway -- Svyatoslav Pidgorny, MS MVP - Security, MCSE -= F1 is the key =- * http://sl.mvps.org * http://msmvps.com/blogs/sp * "Florian Frommherz [MVP]" <florian@PLEASELEAVETHISOUT.frickelsoft.net> wrote in message news:u608aRJxHHA.736@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Howdie! > > info@wurstkonverter.de schrieb: >> Can anyone tell me a PW-generator, which creates PWs not crackable with >> brute force? > > Like Slav answered before, there isn't.
