 Password Haystacks: How Well Hidden is Your Needle?

 Password Haystacks: How Well Hidden is Your Needle?
... and how well hidden is YOUR needle? Every password you use can be thought of as a needle hiding in a haystack. After all searches of common passwords and dictionaries have failed, an attacker must resort to a “brute force” search – ultimately trying every possible combination of letters, numbers and then symbols until the combination you chose, is discovered. If every possible password is tried, sooner or later yours will be found. The question is: Will that be too soon . . . or enough later? This interactive brute force search space calculator allows you to experiment with password length and composition to develop an accurate and quantified sense for the safety of using passwords that can only be found through exhaustive search. <! (The Haystack Calculator has been viewed 8,794,660 times since its publication.) IMPORTANT!!! It is NOT a “Password Strength Meter.” Since it could be easily confused for one, it is very important for you to understand what it is, and what it isn't: Okay. Related:  acallaiinformatique

Say goodbye to capitalism as we know it - Keynote Speaker By Jeremy Rifkin Shutterstock.com A new economic system has entered the world stage. The Collaborative Commons is the first new economic paradigm to take root since the advent of capitalism — and its antagonist socialism. The Collaborative Commons is already transforming the way we organize economic life, with profound implications for the future of the capitalist market. The trigger for this great economic transformation is known as Zero Marginal Cost. Tech firms' cash hoard eases meltdown fear The two-month swoon in technology stocks has given investors flashbacks to the dot-com meltdown. Companies never anticipated, however, a technology revolution that might unleash “extreme productivity” bringing marginal costs to near zero, making information, energy, and many physical goods and services nearly free, abundant, and no longer subject to market exchanges.

CUPP – Common User Passwords Profiler – Automated Password Profiling Tool A while back we had Wyd – Automated Password Profiling Tool but the guys at remote-exploit seem to have superseded this with CUPP. There are other similar options too – The Associative Word List Generator (AWLG) and also RSMangler – Keyword Based Wordlist Generator For Bruteforcing. People spend a lot of time preparing for effective dictionary attack. Going through different combinations and algorithms, CUPP can predict specific target passwords by exploiting human vulnerabilities.

Setting up a virtual meeting is the kind of thing that shouldn’t be complicated -- but always seems to be. We’ve compiled the most popular services and reviewed each. But most importantly, they all provide free plans (not just free trials) that probably have everything you need! Google Hangouts You can’t beat free. Join.me This is a virtual meeting application that focuses on sharing your screen, not on giving you face-to-face with your client. I used join.me extensively in virtual training at a previous job, and found it to be extremely reliable. GoToMeeting GoToMeeting provides video conference for up to 3 people for free. If you like GoToMeeting, you might also want to consider using GoToWebinar if you ever want to upgrade. MeetingBurner UberConference
