50% of the leaked hashes were bcrypt and the other 50% were salted sha1.
So, asking the HNers who crack passwords or follow the tech closely and have a good feel:
Salted sha1 can be brute forced much quicker, but in practical terms what kind of complexity of password is vulnerable today if it was stored salted sha1 vs bcrypt?
And how can this be projected to change in the next couple of years?
