Seriously? You do realize that a 20 digit password, which is what I use, has trillions of combinations. And they have that in "a nice easy searchable database". Man, that must be some database.
The misinformation in this thread is amazing.
If someone is interesting in attempting to get into my home router or myfi, PM me and I'll send you the 1st 10 characters, maybe 20. You will be no further along in two years than starting from scratch.
Ah shucks, maybe its on the "list"...
You are right, there is a lot of misinformation. Hacking passwords is so 10 years ago. So you can go grab a 50GB torrent and run a password hash thru the rainbow tables. It may or may not work depending on the encryption, sometimes in minutes sometimes in years. Hiding in an Onion network is so 5 years ago. Onion networks are only secure on the inside, the entry point and exit point are not, it is also easy to hack the device before the data enters the Onion, put up fake relay servers, apps also leak data while in the Onion all the time. How do you think they got the owner of Silk Road. If I wanted into someone's computer, router, MIFI, phone etc. I would not try to hack the password. Nearly anyone is vulnerable, and don't let them tell you otherwise. It is simple to steal session cookies and Kerberos tokens to impersonate someone else with no password required. It is also really easy to use a known exploit (or even one the hardware manufacturers don't know about yet) to trick the router, computer, server etc. to give you administrative rights, no password required. How do you think Evernote, PlayStation network, Sony Pictures, Home Depot, Target etc. got hacked. They did not get into these networks by hacking someone's password! Strong passwords help, but do not be fooled into thinking you are too secure to be hacked, look at it on a scale, you are more or less secure than the next guy but we are all vulnerable.
