mangy1983 51 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 One thing that was always drilled into our class whilst we were doing our HNC/HND/Degree in computing and on our Cisco Networking Systems courses was the importance of strong passwords. Use capitals here and there, use symbols like @ instead of a etc, swap l's for the number 1 and vice versa, the same can be done with o's and 0 but the most important part is to break up the word used in your password as much as possible. You can test your passwords strength here. cheers Callum Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ossie n Arch 1,683 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 So, just using "Password" won't do then......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob190364 2,594 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 So, just using "Password" won't do then......... isn't that how the news of the world tapped into celebrities VMs? because loads of people just have 1111 or 2222 as passwords/PIN numbers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mangy1983 51 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 So, just using "Password" won't do then......... Depends as there are some hacking software out there that will try every word in the dictionary against your user name in order to hack your account. Some sites will only let you input a wrong password a few times before either locking the account for a time period or adding a captcha feature to be included in the logging on process to deter this. The only thing users can do is to try to strengthen their passwords by breaking up the words for instance if l were to use my rimfire rifle model as a password l could use WinchesterModel63 of l could make it stronger by doing this Winch35t3rM0d3163 if you get my meaning. hope this helps Callum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ossie n Arch 1,683 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Isn't "Password" the most commonest used password of all ?? BTW, i don't use password. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mangy1983 51 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Isn't "Password" the most commonest used password of all ?? BTW, i don't use password. One of the easiest ways to hack residential wifi networks is to write a list of each manufacturers default password and if the network has been password protected to try the default password. Its amazing when l use my phone to see what wifi networks are available that the router being used model and manufacturer comes up and I'm betting that the password would be the standard one as well. l have never tried to hack one, just what was drilled into us doing Cisco Network academy. cheers Callum Edited July 5, 2011 by mangy1983 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
