15 Mind-Blowing Featured Images by NASA The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is home to the United States’ largest organization of combined scientists, engineers and technologists that build spacecraft, instruments and new technology to study the Earth, the sun, our solar system, and the universe. They are also home to some of the most amazing images, visualizations and videos NASA has to offer! Please do yourself a favour and check out their incredible Flickr page which has thousands of images with wonderfully detailed descriptions.

Home - Matts Technology tech blog » Blog Archive » zxcvbn: realistic password strength estimation Over the last few months, I’ve seen a password strength meter on almost every signup form I’ve encountered. Password strength meters are on fire. Here’s a question: does a meter actually help people secure their accounts? It’s less important than other areas of web security, a short sample of which include: Preventing online cracking with throttling or CAPTCHAs.Preventing offline cracking by selecting a suitably slow hash function with user-unique salts.Securing said password hashes. With that disclaimer — yes. These are only the really easy-to-guess passwords. Strength is best measured as entropy, in bits: it’s the number of times a space of possible passwords can be cut in half. This brute-force analysis is accurate for people who choose random sequences of letters, numbers and symbols. As a result, simplistic strength estimation gives bad advice. The table below compares zxcvbn to other meters. A few notes: I took these screenshots on April 3rd, 2012. Installation The model Data Conclusion
