It turns out that the Bible isn't just the book it claims to be. Ars Technica reports that it's now being used to crack passwords. With great effect no less!

According to the article, security researchers Kevin Young and John Dustin have been using them to create a massive database of words and phrases to help crack passwords.

They feed in the contents of the Bible, along with other books and Wikipedia and tested it on 344,000 passwords leaked from intelligence firm Stratfor in 2011 and found great success.
Almost immediately, a flood of once-stubborn passwords revealed themselves. They included: "Am i ever gonna see your face again?" (36 characters), "in the beginning was the word" (29 characters), "from genesis to revelations" (26), "I cant remember anything" (24), "thereisnofatebutwhatwemake" (26), "givemelibertyorgivemedeath" (26), and "eastofthesunwestofthemoon" (25).
Your account is not as secure as you thought. Better change that Bible phrase as a password now! "Walk on water" is probably not that great a password after all.
