The first thing I thought when I read this article is how obvious his password is. generally short passwords tend to be someones name. over 7 characters tends to be something like:
"tpicjbwbrhtg"
i.e
This
Password
Is
Complete
Jibberish
But
Would
Be
Really
Hard
To
Guess
slightly longer passwords are sentences
"fuckyeahloliishot"
people NEVER use special characters.
people tend to only use numbers when they are forced to and even then at the end. eg "password1" is a very popular password.
Think about it. he has to type this in every time he accesses this file. the password will be a pattern password. like "qwerty" (also a popular password)
people tend to start in the top left and move over.
I bet my left ball its something like
