"Swiss Researchers Exploit Windows Password Flaw" <http://slashdot.org/articles/03/07/23/1240259.shtml?tid=126&tid=172&tid=185 &tid=190&tid=201&tid=93>
"CNET is carrying an article about a new (albeit simplistic) method used to hack alphanumeric Windows passwords in a matter of seconds , rather than minutes. To blame is a 'weakness in Microsoft's method of encoding passwords.' According to the authors, the same method, when used on Mac OS X, Unix and Linux boxes, however, could require either 4,096 times more memory or 4,096 times longer." ----------------------------------------------------------- Sorry, couldn't resist.
