My daily work is a closed source PHP project but I'm really interested in open source projects and I know PHP, C/C++ and Perl 5 pretty well. I can do some Java, Python, x86 assembler (intel syntax) and some other programming languages, too. I'm currently running Ubuntu (workstation, home computer, laptop) and Cyanogenmod (phone) as my OS of choice. GPG: 563168EB

How reliable is a password strength checker? Evaluating password quality is very hard. Your recommended checker gave "Very Strong"/"97%" for the password "Dog ate homework!"... Perhaps doing a google search for the password would be a better metric? That "password" gives 6000 hits so it probably is not that great: lmgtfy.com/?q=%22Dog+ate+homework!%22 |

XKCD #936: Short complex password, or long dictionary passphrase? Example output of strings -n 10 /dev/urandom has stuff like t!AF|r)WlB, <^p!*P,gvv and -WAWkG;]%>(. Are you really claiming that you can remember any of those? The correct horse battery staple beer sounds like a winner to me and still has roughly the same entropy. |

Do any security experts recommend bcrypt for password storage? TL;DR: bcrypt is better than PBKDF2 because PBKDF2 can be better accelerated with GPUs. As such, PBKDF2 is easier to brute force offline with consumer hardware. |
