The Password GameShow

Presented at PhreakNIC 21 (2017), Nov. 3, 2017, 4 p.m. (60 minutes).

Some gifts keep on giving. The leak of Adobe users in 2013 has given the infosec community years of enjoyment, some of which we'll now share with you. This event is a gameshow, with the objective to identify the weakest of passwords. Volunteers from the audience will compete against the clock and themselves as human password guessing machines.
