I've recently been considering the problem of password security. The
general idea is to run through a list of "easy hit" passwords, comparing
them to the password (after appropriate encryption) of people on a
"sensitive id" list. The recent comments about the expense of encrypt makes
me think this might not be feasable.

Does anybody else have thoughts on this, or has anybody done any work on
it?
