Anh,
Sorry for my question about your test below. This program "john the
ripper", is
it working with dictionaries or not? Because my question is, if I use
passwords
like "12eldkvi", which are not in any dics, how long you need then to
crack a 
MD5-password? 

Regards
Sacha

Gareth,
I create an "enable secret" password on a Cisco router 2610 with the 
password as you mentioned "kittens".  Remember this is an MD5 encrypted 
string ($1$Em47$DEsFfXv/Px6y/cEmjMwfE0).  You know what, I take this
string 
and use the program called "john the ripper" running on my linux box to 
crack it.  This linux is a pentium 200MHz with 64MB of RAM.  It takes 
exactly 5 minutes to crack this password.  I would imagine for longer 
"enable secret" password, it takes longer but not as difficult as it
sounds.

Regards,
