EP007 – Passwords and other bad ideas
We’re playing with our all new free form format. So strap in for a scattered start as we swerve all over the road that is biometrics until we settle into a good groove and start discussing passwords, the perceived security they give some attacks against them.
I promise you, this is a learning curve and any feedback you want to give will only help us grow as podcasters and help you grow as a person!
Is the free-form format more entertaining or should we keep it a little more structured?

I’ve seen similar resrtictions but still consider the security sufficient ifa) you have some random login number that you write downb) your account gets blocked after 3 tries.If the login number was your account number it could be used for denial of service, so I prefer a random number.Of course someone could still steal your hashed password from the bank and brute-force it which is easier for simple password.But then this is not much easier than installing a trojan, staging a man in the middle attack or sniff your password by other means.
Can you tell us more about this? I’d like to find out some additional information.
I’d be happy to help. Can you elaborate on what area you want more information on?
