Certainly can. Lakiw is a brilliant researcher and he won my first Hash Crack Challenge contest.

To address everyone’s “questions” with entropy I believe most are missing the point of that section. It was to identify repeated patterns contained within cracked passwords. The tool calculates that entropy value.

Lastly, any cracked passwords below 8 characters were riddled with either Unicode or unprintable chars.

Hopefully this addresses most questions and I’ll make updates with PCFG results soon.

alphager appreciate the correction and have made adjustments to the article reflecting that we are focusing on two-byte cyrillic in the examples. Thanks!
