[Solved]Suppose System Passwords 8 Lower Case Letters Find Hackers Able Brute Force System Easily Q37292584

1. Suppose you have a system in which passwords are 8 lower caseletters , but you find that hackers are able to brute force thissystem too easily. Your boss tells you to increase the strength ofthe system by either (A) including the 26 upper case letters inaddition to the 26 lower case letters or (B) increasing therequired length to 10 letters , but only using lower case letters (he has usability concerns). You want to determine which change willmake the attacker’s job the hardest , so you compute themultiplicative increase in the space that the attacker has tosearch to brute force a password. You determine that option A makesthe password space ____ times larger , and that option B makes it____ times larger , so you implement option _____
