Hacking isn't what it used to be. A few years ago it was something that required a degree of ingenuity, and possibly multiple monitors and a workstation in the basement. The type of hacking that we used to amuse ourselves with in school involved getting around the network's security, but that was mediocre at best, and once you'd found a way to the command prompt everything became too easy. Now, all that "hacking" means is asking someone for their IP address and getting them to turn off their firewall, or downloading programs that someone else has made to find out people's Livejournal passwords.

LJ seem to have become more aware of this recently, and have started telling me that my password is too easy to guess with every post that I make. I disagree with its obviousness, and therefore present this challenge to anyone who reads this post - to guess my password. Reply in the comments with as many attempts as you like. If you guess it correctly, I imagine I'd give you root access to my Windows box or something, but if you were that 1337 you probably wouldn't need it anyway.

To give some pointers to start off: it has nothing but letters in it, relates to one of my interests, and is a pronounceable word. (This is why it's so insecure.) People who've talked to me over IRC and seen my passwords when I typed them by accident have a bit of an advantage, but they're welcome to try anyway. Also,
