So [@solardiz](https://bird.makeup/users/solardiz ) presented a talk on "Password cracking: past, present, future" at OffensiveCon last week. Definitely worth a read - bringing his usual disciplined thinking to a topic he knows very well.

He includes both historical and taxonomical perspectives, both of which I appreciate. Apparently, one of the first password-cracking contests was in 1982? (This was a password *cracker* contest - seeking the best *cracking software*!)
