Actually with salt and the latest dictionaries, it is done in about 20 seconds.. if the perp knows what the salt is.

You want a secure password? use 4 to 5 words with spaces and a couple symbols. That is impossible to decode for even the best hackers. I use 1024 bit encryption in my passwords.. even the feds can't decode that, lol
