See "For the sake of completeness, the COPACOBANA FPGA implementation tops 2^16 Mencryptions/s.".
B / A = 110,075 seconds or a bit over 30.5 hrs. Divide that by the number of FPGA setups you can afford. Sure, if you can enforce your 16-chars and persuade people to use !"£$%^&*(... et al, the task becomes significantly harder. But the point remains that it is not the size of the hash (2^512), but the size of the input (96^8, 62^16 etc.) that is the limiting factor. Length is key. Alphabet size is second. But keeping the salt secure goes a long way to ensuring the length, and making brute forcing completely infeasible. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
