Ken 904 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Some things online can never change like -- Terrible Passwords by Humans. When it's about various security measures to be taken in order to protect your Internet security, like installing a good anti-virus or running Linux on your system doesn’t mean that your work gets over here, and you are safe enough from online threats. However, even after countless warnings, most people are continuously using deadly-simple passwords, like '123456' or 'password,' to safeguard their most sensitive data. Evidence suggests that weak passwords are as popular now as they ever were, and the top 25 passwords of 2015 are very easy to guess. Password management firm SplashData on Tuesday released its annual "Worst Passwords List". The 2015 list almost resembled the 2014 list of the worst password, but there are some interesting new entries, including the Star Wars-inspired 'solo,' and 'starwars.' Hard to believe, but '123456' once again topped the list, just like last year, and again followed by the truly terrible 'password.' Sport remains popular among online users as 'football' and 'baseball' are both on the top 10 list of worst passwords. Top 25 Worst Passwords of 2015 SplashData analyzed over 2 Million leaked passwords in 2015, and the results are as follow: 123456 password 12345678 qwerty 12345 123456789 football 1234 1234567 baseball welcome 1234567890 abc123 111111 1qaz2wsx dragon master monkey letmein login princess qwertyuiop solo passw0rd starwars "The longer passwords are so simple as to make their extra length virtually worthless as a security measure," says SplashData The importance of online security around personal data has increased due to the rise in data breaches and cyber attacks over recent years. Last year was the year of data breaches. According to an estimate, around 480 Million personal data records were leaked online, which included high-profile breaches at the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the extramarital affair site Ashley Madison. So remember: "God helps those who help themselves," likewise nobody can secure you online unless and until you are not willing to. How to Create a Strong Password Always create different passwords for different sites. So that if one site is breached, your other online accounts on other sites are secure from being hacked. These are some useful tips that will help you make password strength secure and easier to remember: Use a combination of lowercase, uppercase, numbers, and special characters of 8 characters long or more like s9%w^8@t$i. Use short passphrases with special characters separating to make it difficult for crackers and could be easily remembered like cry%like@me (cry like me). Avoid using the same combination of passwords for different websites. If it is difficult for you to remember different passwords for different websites, then use Password Manager applications like RoboForm, 1Password, LastPass. Stay Safe! Stay Secure!

Premium Galet 510 Posted January 23, 2016 Premium Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) At least, if your password is too strong to be remembered, (or if you're just too lazy) stock your password somewhere hidden in a computer or electronical device or in real life on a post-it if you're sure that nobody will come in your house or no one will enter in your chamber (pic related) Edited August 24, 2022 by Metin2 Dev Core X - External 2 Internal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're good with remembering something, you don't have to save your password in your computer. Otherwise, you have to save your passwords in your computer. It's not about password's length or something like that. It's about combination. If you give a combination someone, they probably solve it sooner or later. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_strength#Entropy_as_a_measure_of_password_strength 1 Do not be sorry, be better.

Vanilla 1455 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It's a matter of both. Length and complexity. A simple password consisting of 4 simple letters will be hard to crack with a bruteforce but not when you're using dictionary attacks. This is why both should be regarded. Telling people that a password consisting of 8 characters should be enough is just wrong. Larger passwords, better yet passphrases, with less complexity (but not none!) is the key to achieve good passwords. Everything else can be cracked easily with modern computers under some circumstances. Also tricks like replacing e with 3 is old and most bruteforce attacks know those patterns. Still the attacker won't know your pattern. Easiest way to get safe passwords is putting random words together (which have no relation at all), remove some letters or substitute them with something else and you're done. Easy to remember, hard to crack. Hackers won't know your pattern. As long as they don't know, their attack will be by far less efficient. We are the tortured. We're not your friends.

If you don't use kali linux or something like that) import itertools res = itertools.product('abc', repeat = 3); for i in res: print ''.join(i) Also, it's up to you.

That's a reason but If that hacker or someone else know you well or sniffing, it could be easy too. If you want to try hard, you could use specific words (which one is not from english).

If you're watching 18+ stuffs on the internet and click every advertisement, you probably get that and everything will be dangerous for ya. Also, it's depend on the hacker's social engineering skills. You can hack people whenever you want.

It was an example. Most people can't control themselves. Their enjoys and so on. Most hacker are choosing those places because of that. It's like a vulnerability or send a naked girl to your victim. (You probably put your virus and encrypt it). Those things are already easy but everything is up to you. If you click everything all the time, you will get this sooner or later or he can blackmailing you with a few information. It's depend on your brain If the hacker already knew you well, it will be easy for him. Social engineering and informations about you. Of course, you can call FBI for that if you want ^^ That's a bad thing but the main goal is how to trick the victim. That explains why social engineering is the best power in this world.

Public Wi-Fi, Of course, it's the best thing to hack big companies. If we're talking about big things, FBI is crying about that at the moment. It depends on your skills. If you're really professional, FBI don't even catch you. They can't trace bitcoins too. (The newest one is Decred as far I know). The main goal is you have to be more intelligence than your victim. The picture explains everything. Spoiler It reminds me this Best Regards Ken Edited September 11, 2022 by Metin2 Dev Core X - External 2 Internal 1 Do not be sorry, be better.
