Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Chris Wood (gracefool) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Passgen insecure Initial Comment: When the "passgen" tool creates a password, the result should not be stored in the history buffer, for security's sake. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Shawn K. Hall (shawnkhall) Date: 2005-01-25 05:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=219805 passgen does not store the results in the history. it stores the request (passgen) but not the actual resulting password. the info help for passgen details the insecurity issues with using the search to generate passwords for you, this is about as much as we can hope for. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Chris Wood (gracefool) Date: 2003-12-07 09:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=813990 Or just use backspace to delete the results of the passgen command (?) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: mll (mlmll) Date: 2003-11-16 22:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=491129 Workaround : send Ctrl+Del afterwards to flush the history. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=432066&aid=843470&group_id=42081 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
