Then we have a problem.
If I enter, say, 60 hex digits, which is after all a plain ascii string, if the password field thinks it is ascii, it will be a very poor password, with only 16 values per byte.
Lessee now. 60 hex digits. That's 16^60 possible values. That's 1.7668^72. Of course, the attacker wouldn't have any idea about the number of characters or whether hex or ASCII. They will all result in a 256 bit hash and there are 2^256 of them. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
