Subject: Re: Large password list

I think it simply makes sense though. As more and more common passwords are
cracked by the multitude of boxes out there dedicated to cracking hashes,
the more and more likely that its gunna turn up in a list or a site
somewhere. Add in that Google is really good at finding long strings and
numbers if they exist on the net and the fact that the entire idea behind
hashes is for them to be unique....yeah.....
