There was once a time ...Thanks for a good article.<br /><br />There was once a time when passwords were safe. Passwords with characters and numbers were enough. Websites used to tell "minimum 8 characters please". But now, the computers are getting powerful. Hackers now use Graphics card / GPU for generating and submitting random passwords (a.k.a. Brute Force). GPUs are way more powerful than CPUs. Today, an 8-character password is nothing. Even with special characters, whitespaces etc.<br /><br />Specialists suggest that passwords should be more than 13 characters in order to be secure and it would also have to include alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) plus, special characters (@*$^#({}";' ....) and no dictionary words or company names or any alternations of them.<br /><br />But even with these security measures, it is not safe anymore. It has been proved by the Heartbleed bug. Hundreds and Thousands of Banks and security organizations had this bug in their SSL implementation (OpenSSL). The bug was present from 2011 & NSA knew it but they never declared the presence of it. It is said that NSA used the bug to spy on people. Any hacker/NSA could have got all the information that anyone has shared with this compromised OpenSSL version. It even includes Gmail, Facebook, Yahoo and countless others. So, every information that is shared since 2011 has been compromised. The NSA or other hackers could have easily gotten the information. And it applies even if you used a 20 character long strong password.<br /><br />My point is that SSL seemed to be so secure. But even that was vulnerable. And now, it is even possible to retrieve information from a computer which is not connected to internet or any network. It is possible through communication through air. (Don't joke, it has already been proven. It is told to be working with built in microphones and speakers.) The malware responsible for this is called AirGap Malware.<br /><br />So, in summery, no matter how much you encrypt and put padlocks to it, any data converted to digital format is insecure. Whenever you scan a secret document into a jpg file, you will have to think that you have donated the document for the world to see. (But that does not mean we stop putting padlocks in our doors. ;-) )Adnan Shameemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03795435968155667026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515880289700454211.post-42318404514408128082013-02-26T21:37:19.103+06:002013-02-26T21:37:19.103+06:00Thanks for the comment.

I don't think so. Or use 'joining two words' method or divide rule. I've discussed these methods in detail here.<br /><br />Please go to these link - http://hub.me/aecsp<br /><br />You can also find here different tools to remember passwords for you and I'm sure you'll find it helpful.<br />Thank you :)<br /><br />For technology tips-<br />www.infoshare18blog.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18025127629767274472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515880289700454211.post-90114797822319889472012-09-12T17:49:04.512+06:002012-09-12T17:49:04.512+06:00Thanks for your comment.
