Password Time-to-Crack Calculator

Enter the attributes of your password to calculate how long it will take to crack your password using a "Brute-Force" attack. Brute-force is a technique for breaking passwords that tests every conceivable combination of a string of alpha-numeric characters until it hits the right one. Short passwords (i.e. less than 7 characters) are feasible under this method. Any more and you would have to either invest in thousands of expensive supercomputers or re-write your document.

The calculator below will calculate an estimate of just how long it would take to break your password.
