Tucows generates random auth codes for each EPP-based domain -- .info, .biz and soon .name and .us. It's a good guard against hijacking.
Each registrar has their own system of generating auth codes. It wouldn't surprise me if some lesser tech-savvy registrars used (or used to use) the same auth code for every domain (or maybe something predictable, like the date maybe). But I would imagine that most of the ones which are playing unfair have random generators as well.
