I usually use passwords i got from somewhere (being a pupil i change my work regularly; i've been one week to university; took part in several business games; etc). These passwords are assigned to me, and most of them are really lovely. To make it harder to guess, i sometimes use combinations (so, my longest password is 24 chars).
For password security in general i would recommend you the "Department of Defense - Password Management Guideline" (also known as "green book"): http://www.staticdischarge.org/Standards/Rainbow/STD002.TXT Greetings, ------------------------------------------------------- BlueScreen / Florian Hobelsberger (UIN: 101782087) Member of: www.IT-Checkpoint.net www.Hackeinsteiger.de www.NGSecurity.de www.DvLdW.de.vu Für Fragen im Bereich Datensicherheit wenden Sie sich bitte an: www.Hackeinsteiger-Board.de www.Securitypoint-board.de.vu ================================================================== This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
