Do you have a key chain? Most people do and for a good reason. Key chain lets people have all of their keys in one place, which is very convenient. Storing each key separately is not something most people would call smart. When it comes to keeping passwords and login names, however, people dont exercise their common sense. Meanwhile, there is an entire class of software called password keepers or password managers that work for password just like a key chain for keys.An average Internet user has at least half a dozen of passwords to remember - e-mail, ICQ, MSN Messenger, bank accounts, PayPal, eBay, dial-up. Remembering all of them is not that easy. So people try to keep using the same password for all websites (which does not always work, since different websites have different cha racter

I have been following Dameon Welch-Abernathy, a.k.a. PhoneBoy's discovery of the iSkoot program disclosing Skype user names and passwords, the problem has been taken care of, and has been announced in a statement from iSkoot CEO Mark Jacobstein on their blog.The problem was due to a development/pre-production version of the Symbian client being allowed to downloaded. Now they have pulled this version and a new fixed version will be uploaded to Symbian phone and all the users should have received it by now.iSkoot also mentioned that all other versions, Blackberry, J2ME, Windows Mobile, etc. were not affected. So go ahead and use them. We all got to thank phoneboy for his work! unlike other people who look at it in a different light. Then again kudos for iSkoot for taking action. We all n

The Register reports that IntelGuardians, a penetration‑testing firm, has built up on the Princeton research that showed how to extract encryption keys from computer memory, RAM.  They’ve created a device and named it “DaisyDukes,” and it plugs into a computer via the USB port.  No word on whether the device comes encased in cut‑offs.  It’s still in beta mode, so anything could happen…  Although, truth be told, I’m guessing they’ve christened the device after the TV character because the bombshell was able to wangle her way into pretty much anything.   Based on what I’ve read, it sounds like the new device is very similar to the device the Princeton researchers had showcased last month.  IntelGuardians has a spin on the original device and

Check Your Passwords' Strength at Microsoft's Password Checker [Security] Microsoft offers a helpful little box to type your security phrases into that instantly grades them as "Weak," "Medium," and "Strong." Before the inevitable eye rolls and comments on the concepts of "Microsoft" and "security," see the Windows-maker's helpful suggestion on building a tough password:A strong password should appear to be a random string of characters to an attacker. It should be 14 characters or longer, (eight characters or longer at a minimum). It should include a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.I was kind of surprised to see that one of my standard passwords was rated "Weak," while my previously-thought super-strong password was just "Medium."

This is not true.While they may in fact be strong passwords, they are usually1. Difficult to remember,2. Slow to type, and3. Sometimes vulnerable to attacks against the password generating algorithm.It is easy to create passwords that are just as strong but much easier to remember by using a few simple techniques. For example, consider the password “HeavyTrucks@1way.com”. This password utilizes upper and lower-case letters, two numbers, and two symbols. The password is 20 characters long and can be memorized with very little effort; perhaps even by the time you finish this article. Moreover, this password can be typed very fast.The portion “HeavyTr

I was browsing the Firefox settings for optimizing performance and came across the "Security tab in Firefox Preferences". I was amazed to see a button called Show_Passwords.. I decided to probe further and clicked on it, viola it showed the list of websites with my user name on it. What more it even had a button which said "Show Passwords". Clicking on it brought a dialog box which confirmed if I really wanted my passwords to be displayed. Clicking yes revealed all my usernames along with respective passwords. Now this can be handy for a home computer where if I forget my password, I can easily get it back. At the same time this poses a huge risk in Office environment, where many a times we go to get a steaming cup of coffee without locking our desktop. I know leaving the desktop unlocke

Forgot your BIOS Password ... Don't worry try the following hack ...To perform this hack you will need: A #1 or #2 Phillips-head screwdriver, or (less likely) a T-15 TORX driver or a 1/4" hex nutdriver, to open the case Needle-nosed pliers if you are working with jumpers A small flashlight or headlamp With tools at hand, perform the following steps: Turn the PC off (this means a total shutdown, not merely standby or hibernate mode) and disconnect the AC power cord. Remove the cover from your system (this step may require tools, undoing a thumbscrew, or flipping a latch or two). Refer to the user manual for the motherboard to find out how to "reset CMOS" memory. You may also find a label for specific jumper or switch settings marked on the system board. Change the switch setting or jumper position to a specific position or remove the jumper entirely as prescribed in the manual to clear or reset the CMOS memory. Wait 20-30 seconds for the memory to clear out from lack

Its almost impossible to remember usernames and passwords for all those websites that users visit daily so what mainly users do is that they use the password manager feature of browsers like Internet Explorer and Firefox to save their passwords. The password manager then automatically fills the password form of a website whenever you wish to login however this stored password is in asterisk (*****) and is hidden. There is a trick for both Internet Explorer and Firefox that can help you reveal the passwords behind those asterisk or you can even simply see a list of all passwords saved by IE or Firefox in their program memory. Reveal Asterisk Password in Internet Explorer To reveal the hidden password behind asterisk in IE you need a utility called AsterWin IE that will show you the current password on your IE screen hidden behind asterisk. Just run the application when you are on a website’s login page and it will automatically scan and reveal the hidden password. In case you want

YET ANOTHER reason to enforce strong passwords in the corporate world. It amazes me how many companies let employees use weak passwords, or passwords with no expiry. Below is an excerpt from CRMbuyer.com. Convio, a provider of CRM applications for nonprofit organizations, has announced that e-mail addresses and passwords have been stolen from its clients’ databases. The American Red Cross is among the companies affected by the breach. No bank account information or Social Security numbers, however, appear to have been leaked. Tad Druart, a spokesperson for Austin, Texas-based Convio, said the company has notified federal authorities of a data breach between Oct. 23 and Nov. 1. The hacker used an employee’s password to get at the data No Social Security numbers or bank account information was stolen, Druart said. He said the company immediately notified the 92 companies affected, though he would not name them, and it wasn’t known how much information was compromised.

Sean Holstege - The Arizona Republic Let’s face it: The Internet is a great convenience, but all those user names and passwords can be a cumbersome pain in the caboose. There’s work e-mail and home e-mail, then all the online accounts for the bank, a credit card or two, maybe a mortgage and the utilities. Maybe work offers online access to ever-changing medical, dental and vision benefits. Frequent travelers have accounts with airlines, car-rental firms and online travel-booking services. Then, there are the chat groups and the eBays, PayPals, iTunes and Netflixes of the world. Not to mention subscription Web sites. It’s too much for anyone to remember. That’s why, despite repeated recommendations not to do so, people typically write down their user names and passwords or recycle them from one site to the next. That means that if a thief gets hold of the list, or your core password, the Internet can become the world’s window into yo

See the difference...Ok here is an ultra cool software that decodes all those asterisks and dots that seemingly hides the password you type in.Download it, install it, move the screen over the area where the password is hidden and voila!!, you see the password appear magically.

Illegal use of above software is not advocated.

To generate random and secure passwords offline I recommend oldie mkpasswd. It was written by Don Libes from National Institute of Standards and Technology very long time ago but works perfectly. Install mkpasswd in Debian or any other distro containing APT by command: sudo apt-get install -y mkpasswd For some reason Ubuntu’s repository contains makepasswd that was written by Marco d’Itri and has similar functionality. To install it run sudo apt-get install makepasswd. Generate strong password by executing mkpasswd or makepasswd in command line. Examples: makepasswd --char=10 mkpasswd -s "salt" Another way is to get strong password online with www.goodpassword.com that provides you with service free of charge.

After all, if I get into one I’ll probably get into all of them.Your partner, child, or pet’s name, possibly followed by a 0 or 1 (because they’re always making you use a number, aren’t they?)

Date of birth - yours, your partner’s or your child’s. “god” “letmein” “money” “love” Statistically speaking that should probably cover about 20% of you. But don’t worry.

Protecting Your Data with PasswordsPasswords offer a powerful security measure for keeping intruders away from your data. Passwords are an easier way to share a sensitive document than EFS, because any user to whom you give the password can open the file, while a user who wants to open an encrypted file must have an EFS certificate.In this section, we discuss how passwords work and explore their weaknesses. In addition, we cover the tasks required to add a password to a document created in some popular Windows software applications. Understanding Software PasswordsMany software applications let you secure data with passwords. Depending on the program, you can apply password protection for a range of tasks. For example, you can use a password to prevent unauthorized users from opening a file, to prevent users from changing a file they’re able to open, or to keep users out of certain parts of a large application (for example, a database or accounting program).When any user attempts to

I, for one, am tired of having to remember all of these different passwords. I’m only one man. There is only so much information I can fit into my brain. True, I could purge my brain of some seemingly irrelevant items to clear space (Did you know Jim Presley was the third baseman for the Atlanta Braves in 1990, the year before Terry Pendleton came aboard and the team started its dynasty?), but doing so would be insanity.
