Anatomy of a hack: How crackers ransack passwords like “qeadzcwrsfxv1331”

Ars Technica- Like Nate Anderson's foray into password cracking, radix was able to crack 4,900 of the passwords, nearly 30 percent of the haul, solely by using the RockYou list.

Hashcat told him it would take two hours to complete, which was longer than he wanted to spend.

Just throw in a ! into your everyday password in any spot.

Use whatever of these symbols that specified password takes and in many cases, you'll be much safer. Nothing will ever be perfectly safe, but you can always improve your chances. Hackers go after easier targets most of the time anyway; people with passwords like "12345" or "password"
