I use the same password for 99% of my stuff. Basic “secure” password that passes all of those “strength tests” (which are pretty amusing in their own way).
Anything important, I have one complicated password that I use variants of; 15 characters, random characters (including uppercase, lower case, symbols, numbers).
I think even that is a bit excessive, and think most of you are full of shit.
any site that emails you your password when you request it instead of making you reset it is comprised and i wouldn’t trust them because they’re not encoding your password at all
Still doesn’t matter, there are ways around this. For fun on your own pc, google ophack, hiren’s boot CD, there are a billion ways to steal your info out of wifi but google wireshark, netstumbler, cowpatty, and kismet, and for tuns of fun at cracking anything google cuda multiforcer and backtrack linux.
Part of what I have to do is offensive security, ie paid to break things. It’s always laughably easy, to say nothing of a little social engineering via posing as a woman on facebook, dumpster diving, and a few well placed phone calls to an organization posing as your wife. Works like a charm
The last release they put out was full of FBI info, a shit ton against AT&T (pretty much ALL AT&T files), and other random lulz. But what else am I supposed to get from shit like this:
wow, crew of SIX? Hahaha, I still think they were part of Anonymous the entire time
anonymous leaders have also been exposed. Hackers that don’t agree with the groups are now ganging up on them, turning the information over to the cops, and posting their real life information so people can attack them.
Good read, was hoping the gov took them down. Them retiring rather than being taken down somehow doesnt feel like the good guys won. But they did bring up security awareness.
Damn are they a bunch of pretentious fucks. I can’t believe I so much of that site. If it were anon guys I would think that the attitude is a joke, but after reading it all I really believe that these guys think they accomplished something. The comments they are getting aren’t helping. The lulzsec thing was cute, and it was getting kinda annoying, but they aren’t a great evil. I can’t disagree with what they did, because it breeds competition, but they aren’t heroes. I can only hope that this continues between these two groups, because it is entertaining me.
ooooh I get it. Lulzsec is still fine and dandy, they’re just not going to be going by that name anymore. They joined with Anonymous members and became AntiSec.
And acedick, that blog is soooooo horribly fake/wrong lol
Not all IT people agree with them, nor do all hackers. Not all want to topple the western world for the sake of stealing video games and movies. They’ve been outed before. One of them got beat to a pulp and hospitalized, a few were arrested.
lol anyone else read that pastebin doc from some other hacker group that supposedly(and quite convincingly) details everyone in lulzsec and the groups history?
EDIT: lol, sorry for some reason the last few responses wasn’t showing for me until now. fail.
Anyway, here’s what I was talking about, different from the “lulzsec exposed” thing up there I think: a-team pastebin doc
I agree with part of the philosophy of Lulzsec, and that is sticking it to asshole’s who would otherwise stick it you.
The most important thing about lulzsec is that they have the courage to go out there and do what they do and fight for what they believe is right. If a lot of you sit down and worry about big brother coming in into the internet and cencoring it for you or telling you what you can and can’t do, because of these. Crack open the phone book and make your voice heard. If things get censored banned because of anonymous or future lulzsec then it just goes to show how far the american people have fallen and how much of a joke our constitution is in the face of false security.
I don’t agree with sharing the average person’s info on the internet or showing secrets on making a thermonuclear device, but exposing the government for what it is, should be something everybody should agree on.
I’d agree up to a point. The truth is all they will accomplish is making government more secretive and more willing to go after leakers. This has already happened.
