Introduction

The comic illustrates the relative strength of passwords assuming basic knowledge of the system used to generate them.

This comic says that a password such as Tr0ub4dor&3 is bad because it is easy for password cracking software and hard for humans to remember, leading to insecure practices like writing the password down on a post-it attached to the monitor. On the other hand, a password such as "correcthorsebatterystaple" is hard for computers to guess due to having more entropy but quite easy for humans to remember.

Likewise hashes are hard to remember. Converting hashes to natural words is more memorable, more fun, and more likely to be used. The generator can be configured to generate a more funny or interesting one.
