Password Length And Crack Time

Under the condition of supposing that password is freely composed with latino letters, we estimated the proper needed crack time. In advance we suppose, common personal user can test 10 password, and the Organize  of 100 million budget can get the testing speed of 1000 million password.
In the mean time, we also suppose that cpu will be double each two years, then, as for more than six letters of password, increasing one latino letter will be needed relatively to increase about 9 years for crack time.

based on above conditions, we can get the following crack time:

  2                1 Minute                1 Second
