Question 45. Estimate how long you need to make a password to make it secure from a brute force attack for one year using only upper case letters plus the numbers 0 through 9 plus the following nine special characters: !#$%^&*)(. Assume an attacker has a system that operates at 4 billion instructions per second, and that it takes 12 instructions to test each password? To simplify your calculation, assume the attacker only has to test the exact length password you estimate, but not all smaller lengths as well. You must show your calculations.
