The DBN-6300 must enforce a minimum 15-character password length.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password length is one factor of several that helps to determine strength and how long it takes to crack a password. Since the device cannot be configured for password complexity, not having a strong password can result in the success of a brute force attack, which would give immediate access to a privileged system.
