Hacking isn't too hard, at least not the basic, ankle-biter, script kiddie stuff. Just need a basic understanding of computer protocols and programming, Java is one of the more useful for hacking though. It's really not too tough, I learned hacking in high school will taking computer language courses (C+ and Java, later I learned C#, Python and Ruby).

You just need time, patience, ambition and some basic math and logic skills (to construct if/else statements and the like... it helps make the code run, though logical construction also makes it easier to read for people that didn't write the code).

If you get good enough, perhaps you can join the IN and do this:

Thank you :-)
I will give it a read for sure :tup:

Sensitive data such as passwords
are often posted online by
hackers who steal them during
attacks on websites and
corporate networks. This year,
most of the passwords came
from users in North America and
Western Europe.
Based on its analysis, SplashData
recommends that when crafting
your password:
Don't use keyboard patterns
e.g. "qwertyuiop" from the top
row of letters
Don't use a favourite sport –
baseball and football were
both in the Top 10, with
hockey, soccer and golf in the
Top 100.
Don't use your birthday or
birth year. People in their early
20s seemed to be especially
guilty of this, with the years
1989 to 1992 all in the top
100.
Don't use common names –
michael, jennifer, thomas,
jordan, hunter, michelle,
charlie, andrew and daniel
were all in the Top 50.
Here's the entire list:
1. 123456
2. password
3. 12345
4. 12345678
5. qwerty
6. 1234567890
7. 1234
8. baseball
9. dragon
10. football
11. 1234567
12. monkey
13. letmein
14. abc123
15. 111111
16. mustang
17. access
18. shadow
19. master
20. michael
21. superman
22. 696969
23. 123123
24. batman
25. trustno1
CBC News - 25 worst passwords of 2014: Is yours on the leak list?

Oh! they fail to take my last two character and that is :bunny::chilli:.

Seriously you all guys should do these things for batter protection.

  1. atleast one letter must be capital
  2. Use of special character and i find out that $ sign is most difficult to break because of US $ and we can used it like write name saleem as $aleem similar pattern.
  3. use numeric words (but don't use your car number plate, mobile or landline number, house number etc)

You need to be strategic in your use of capitals and symbols though. A capital at the beginning, a number sequence at the end, or less than two symbols is far too easy to hack. Remember, if you know these tips and tricks, so too do the hackers trying to find their way past your password. Try foreign words and symbols - anything that's not English or your country's spoken and written language will be better. I use a mix of Russian and English letters in many of mine - though I add additional variations.

Use a healthy mix of upper and lower-case letters and numbers (example; 60% - 40% split). Use at least two symbols and avoid using a capital at the front or a number sequence at the back.

TestPassw0rd111 - this is terrible! It covers all the "no-nos." A capital at the beginning, a number sequence at the end, and it lacks variation.

$T35tP@ssW0rD123456 - so is this, despite it seeming to be more secure as it adds more elements and is longer. The "$" at the front is a commonality that too many people use these days. The sequential number sequence (numbers in a row as they appear on a number line) is a major problem as well. It's no longer safe enough.

"$.t357,P@sSM0rB.?" - try something like this.

I used to hack IDs (esp Yahoo! mail) when I was in college... and out of over 1000 passwords I collected, not a single one matched any of these in the list. Every single person had a completely distinct password.

These guys are either tracking grannies in old age homes, or are simply bullshitting.

Individual users will take more precaution with their E-mail due to privacy concerns, but computer log-in screens (tablets too), businesses and public organizations tend not to be too concerned with security... for some stupid reason. Despite it seeming counter-intuitive, these passwords are actually quite common - especially among businesses that don't think they will be targeted or want some security but more convenience. You are right to suggest that we don't commonly see them as E-mail passwords. People tend not to like others snooping in their in-boxes.

You are right, even the company that I used to work for had something for a password that could simply be guessed (name and date of foundation of the company - all lower case). And yes, of all the accounts that I hacked, only two were used for corporate purposes, and rest all were of individuals, esp those in the software industry.

Anyone who created password on PDF same as the email address he/she use for registration is screwed, webby read email of these people daily. That's why he is mostly absent from moderation duty:pop:

I seriously hope no one is foolish enough to use their E-mail password as their PDF password:hitwall::pissed::mad::angry:. Never, ever, EVER!!!!!11111!!!!!!!!! use the same password twice. Create a new one for every site, log-in or password requiring situation!!!

:tsk: - that people actually do this though... I can't even begin to express my disappointment at their stupidity.

I hope webmaster is reading the E-mail of anyone who did this, they deserve it!
