[brlug-general] Wireless security (Not specifically Linux-related)

The problem with a single key for everyone is that once it's known to someone you don't want to know it (disgruntled ex-employee, for example) you have to change it for everyone. This results in a lot of angry calls. One means of mitigating brute-force password attacks for your 4 number passwor

[brlug-general] Email passwords are.. special?

Both of those articles mention that PDA owners are saving corporate passwords on their PDAs in cleartext. If they are doing so, then they'd be saving both their "email" passwords and their "non-email" passwords, along with PIN numbers, bank account numbers, etc. In which case, it doesn't matter

[brlug-general] Email passwords are.. special?

You're assuming someone would be able to hack out an email password from a stolen device. I doubt many devices actually store the passwords in an easy-to-access cleartext sort of way. Usually this will require a brute-force attempt on the device, which would be extremely difficult given the nat
