Re: Password too similar?

22 minutes to start a password crack on any Windows Machine attached 
to the Internet not locked behind a firewall.  On a server with >2000 
users I had the entire password/user list in 6 hours.

I am talking about commercially available software.  If the computer 
is on the same subnet it is even faster to the first letter of the 
password and username.  This software I have is used for network 
security tests.
