A friend was recently asking me about passwords. He’s heard some of my password rants in the past and was curious how I handled passwords. I’m going to lay why most people have bad passwords and what I do to get around those issues. I know my solution isn’t new or radical, others have done similar things before, I’m just publishing it as an example and to get people thinking.
I've seen this covered on slashdot and digg but haven't seen many people weigh in on it, so I figured I'd write it up with my opinions.
Back in June, there was a post from someone to thinking he was infected by spyware since he was getting additional ads from a company called "Fair Eagle" inserted on all the pages he visits. After a little analysis he found this happened from his home but not from his office and mentioned that his ISP is MoonOverAddison and it appeared that they were inserting the advertisements.<!--blockquote--> At which point jaiku user Chrisr chimed in with this information:
