Artificial intelligence can help not only write an essay or even a thesis, but also crack a password much faster. Data from cybersecurity firm Home Security Heroes shows that a recent AI-based tool, PassGAN, is capable of cracking fairly simple passwords instantly or very quickly.

The company’s research shows that of the 15,680,000 common passwords that were taken for the experiment, AI was able to crack 51% in less than a minute, 65% in less than an hour, 71% in less than a day, and 81% took to crack less than a month.

The results may seem quite frightening, but not everything is so bad. The fact is that simple passwords are cracked quickly or relatively quickly, especially those consisting of only numbers. If you use letters, then already 10 characters are enough to load PassGAN with work for 5 years. Adding just two will complicate the task by orders of magnitude: the instrument will need 30,000 years.

It is also interesting that, judging by the accessible verification form on the company’s website, password complexity is practically unimportant for PassGAN – only the length matters. That is, a password of 10 characters will be cracked by AI for 5 years, regardless of the presence or absence of numbers, special characters or letters in different registers. The only exceptions are passwords of only numbers – such AI cracks much easier.

Some AMD processors may freeze after 1044 days of continuous

AMD Epyc processors of the Rome generation (the second generation of Epyc) revealed one curious feature. It lies in the fact that such a CPU can freeze after 1044 days of continuous operation.

This feature means that owners of servers based on such CPUs may need to reboot the server before the specified time in order to avoid system freezes.

The problem is related to the fact that the CPU core cannot wake up from the CC6 sleep state. That being said, AMD states that the crash time may vary depending on the spread spectrum and REFCLK frequency. The nature of the problem is of a hardware nature, so, unfortunately, it will not be possible to fix it.

In addition to rebooting, there is a second method to avoid freezing: disable CC6 sleep mode.

In general, in most cases, this problem will not affect server owners, since maintenance and installation of security updates usually occur much more often, including requiring a reboot. However, in case someone uses the Linux hot fix feature to upgrade without rebooting, they may encounter the above problem.

It’s no secret that Volkswagen is preparing an updated eighth-generation Golf – it should debut at the end of this year (or early next) and will be sold unchanged until 2028, after which it will go down in history. And now, for the first time, the updated Golf (and even in the plug-in hybrid version) was captured without camouflage – it winds kilometers somewhere on the roads of Germany.

Since we are talking about a mid-term update, there are no special innovations in the exterior. The car will get narrower headlights, a slightly modified front bumper, taillights with new graphics.

But in the cabin of such a car (Golf eHybrid is one of the top versions of the model) a media system with a huge screen is installed. The company does not officially name the size of the diagonal, but, apparently, a 15-inch screen is installed as in the ID electric liftback. 7. But if for a large ID. 7 (we recall that it is the electric successor to the Passat) such a display is still somehow appropriate, but for a Golf it looks very large.

It is also noted that the touchpads on the steering wheel, which Golf owners complained about, have been replaced with conventional mechanical buttons.
