Like to see how long it takes for WPA cracker to have a go at one of Steve's passwords.
Precisely. I use this to generate a 63 character long string of random ASCII data. Try cracking that in 20 minutes.

I wrote my own random string generator in Maple a few years ago and have been using passwords it generates ever since. Anyone needing access to my router needs a text file either from a USB thumb drive or sent via e-mail so they can copy & paste. (though setting up the Wii and PS3 was a pain in the ass).

I just use a spreadsheet to generate passwords using RAND and VLOOKUP functions. Here is an example; 3QKyAnIlE9B0MqoS_HyI1l4RsZF_cdY5TuqgIYs-TUZs.#_7HucuG7-ZSDWVGGN. I keep hitting the F9 key until I get one I like.
