Query: Exploring the Impact of Password Dataset Distribution on Guessing   Leaks from password datasets are a regular occurrence. An organization may
defend a leak with reassurances that just a small subset of passwords were
taken. In this paper we show that the leak of a relatively small number of
text-based passwords from an organizations' stored dataset can lead to a
further large collection of users being compromised. Taking a sample of
passwords from a given dataset of passwords we exploit the knowledge we gain of
the distribution to guess other samples from the same dataset. We show
theoretically and empirically that the distribution of passwords in the sample
follows the same distribution as the passwords in the whole dataset. We propose
a function that measures the ability of one distribution to estimate another.
Leveraging this we show that a sample of passwords leaked from a given dataset,
will compromise the remaining passwords in that dataset better than a sample
leaked from another source.
