Why is there such an emphasis on strong passwords?
My understanding is that brute force or dictionary attacks are only possible when the attacker can test a large number of passwords in a reasonable amount of time. Modern Unix systems do not expose the encrypted passwords and have limits on how many passwords can be attempted so how can a weak password be exploited?
