Source sentences:
text: There are about 31 million seconds in a year, so an attacker who knows the year (a simple matter in situations where frequent password changes are mandated by password policy) and the process ID that the password was generated with, faces a relatively small number, by cryptographic standards, of choices to test.
text: Passwords are created either automatically (using randomizing equipment) or by a human; the latter case is more common.
text: If the attacker knows more accurately when the password was generated, he faces an even smaller number of candidates to test – a serious flaw in this implementation.
text: This increases the number of possibilities, but someone with a good guess of when the password was generated, for example, the date an employee started work, still has a reasonably small search space.
