Thus spake Jonathan Glaschke ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [06/05/06 16:58]: : Think of somebody who burgles your house to steal your privat data. When : your computer asks him to enter the password he sure will try the well : known standard passwords like "god", "secret" and "sex". Or maybe : "swordfish". But have you ever seen a film where someone was "hacked" by : just typing nothing but enter?
I've done it many times. Most persons I know of give it a shot. In fact, there was an interview just posted with the guy who wormed his way into various Military computers, and he used blank passwords to do so. Movies != Real Life : He will try "Marie5", then "marie5", "Marie_five" and probably "5Mary" : or "Password Marie5" but he sure won't try "". : : Try it, it works. *gak* I'll refrain from entering the typical debate and leave it at this: Whether or not it works depends *entirely* on your threat model. It sure as heck wouldn't work in mine.
