I miss this one but I knew something was wrong when uufa was pm me about this one post that start the problem

[uufta]

Sorry about that Tran, I think there was only about five of us on at that time, felt I had to show somebody what was happening, Chewy came on right after you got booted out so I PM'd him and he got the ball rolling on this mess.

Just curious, since my username was one of those logged on cybermare's website, about the cookie/password aspect of this.

I've already changed my password for the forums. But, unfortunately, I've used my old password elsewhere on the net. It seems the Digital Digest cookie info is encrypted and not stored as plain text. I was wondering how secure that encryption was.

Granted, if we're talking about the secret password to my Swiss bank account that even my wife doesn't know about, I'm not even asking that question. Password *has* been changed

But, for normal net activity like email and forums, if the risk is low that cybermare can extract my password from my encrypted cookie then I'd really like to save myself the trouble of going around changing my password all over the place. But... if I need to I will.

So, for those in the know, how secure is the cookie encryption, easy for an average hacker to crack? Should I change all accounts with that password?

My advice is better to be safe than sorry. I am not talking from an expert's point of view but my name wasn't on that list & I have already changed my password.

Same here... as my password is the same for lots of stuff... who wants to remember a lot?

And this guy I know who knows how to use bruteforce to get passwords from a database was telling me that something like "Pa$$w0rD" is the absolute hardest to crack... just some advice for a new one if you wish (obviously change the word but use "leet" language like that)

[blutach]

I've changed them all, especially my banking ones.

Long passwords, with special characters, upper and lower case alpha, mixed with numeric are the hardest to crack. The longer the better. Make it 20+ characters, if the web site lets you.

I did see that but it also says that it is not a complete list. Or is it a complete list now?

[drfsupercenter]

Woah 20+? I use 7 characters for mine, or sometimes 10... too many to remember otherwise. Isn't it true that something like Pa$$w0rD would be really hard to crack?

[photo_angel2004]

I think something like:

would be harder LOL

[blutach]

7 characters a brute cracker can get through quite easily. Minimum of 12 these days. Be on the safe side drf.

If I can access your bios and boot to a linux floppy and change your password for windows, do you think anything is really secure that you put on a computer?

[photo_angel2004]

Nothing is full proof LOL

now if you want to shoot yourself in the foot make your folders private and then let windows crash where a repair disk won't fix, then try to recover those files, that encryption is bad!
