See the bottom of the page for details about the classes of attack. 10 Characters Just numbers. 26 Characters The full alphabet, either upper or lower case (not both in this case). 36 Characters The full alphabet, either upper or lower case (not both in this case) plus numbers. 52 Characters This time we're trying the full alphabet but using a mixture of upper and lower case letters, that effectively doubles the number of combinations when compared with just using a single case. 62 Characters 86 Characters 96 Characters Examples
