Comment on Top 250 cracked Gawker passwords

Comments

We came up with different results and some more interesting items in the top 25 (link is to our top 100): http://intrepidusgroup.com/insight/wp-content/uploads/2010/1...

For instance, our #4 was lifehack with 861 results. We also came up with different counts.

It is probably worth comparing our methodologies and results: http://intrepidusgroup.com/insight/2010/12/gawker-des-crypt-... if you are interested in this.

edit: Amusingly, lifehack was the only password in our top100 missing from the linked top250. Given more time I am assuming lifehack would have dropped out during Duo's crack as a popular password since it is 8 characters and lower case.
