# Interactive Example Password Security

Here you can try out different passwords to see what effect their complexity has on the amount of time it would take to brute-force attack them, and also to see what would probably be stored in the database in the user's record.

##### Interesting passwords to try

- password
- 12345678
- hunter2
- un1v3rs1ty
- Un1v3rs\tY

Brute-Force on Home PC

Brute-Force on Amazon EC2

Brute-Force on Custom GPU based Hardware

For the purposes of this demo, we have assumed that the brute-force attack is going against the smallest character set possible that could resolve your password. We have assumed the computers to be of the following specification:

- Home PC average CPU and a Nvidia GTX 260
- Amazon EC2 Instance high speed server CPUs and 2x Nvidia Tesla M2050 cards
- Custom Password Brute-Forcing Computer (~£3000) 4x ATI/AMD 6900s
