If a password contains eight upper and lower-case letters and digits, how many possible passwords might an attacker need to try to gain access?
What will be an ideal response?
The issue here is total number of characters in the set and the number of characters being used. Since
the password being mentioned consists of uppercase (26 possibilities), lowercase (26 possibilities
and digits (10 possibilities), the reader is encouraged to calculate the possibility of matching 8
characters out of 62 (26+26+10).
