I came here to participate for a merit as well, but then I read the OP about having limited merits to give and if users are usually receiving merit they'd better give room for others to participate and maybe give an advice... so here I am for an advice!
Dear erikoy, I understand you're trying honestly to be active and friendly in the forums.
I read this thread you made, it's "okay" but not as good as it could be if you'd spend some more time to research it.
What you did was to post an image an comment on it, but did you check the facts?
I'm not a specialist but I have some knowledge on the subject and those numbers seemed exaggerated to me... 10 days to crack "looksstrong"? How? Using an i5? Even a consumer-level high end CPU should be able to crack it much sooner.
I tried this site:
https://howsecureismypassword.net/ and this site:
https://password.kaspersky.com/It always depends on the power of the machine used, but as a rule I'd say that Kaspersky's estimations are closer to reality (just 55mins for "looksstrong").
My point is that you should do your own research and add more content to your posts. You don't have to be always correct, you can't know everything, but you could have researched the subject in order to add more links and resources to your thread.
While you were at it, you'd probably notice that something was wrong with the seminar!
