Decided to test an 8-character password that meets these so called "password strength" requirements - at least one number, one capital and one special character. The result is 4 minutes.

Make of that what you will...

s comes after r.. perhaps it takes 6 hours for it to cycle from the r* range to the s* range?

s comes after r.. perhaps it takes 6 hours for it to cycle from the r* range to the s* range?

so using letters closer to end of the alphabet is more secure?
