@fettoken is upset he's not the centre of attention.

My lawn is though.

:(

Just get it done! Perhaps get one of those self-moving machines, would be interesting to see it go rogue and mow down the neighbors roses or some such. "Lawnmower on new adventures" - title for a film perhaps?

The London Mayor candidates could not be more different, the son of a bus driver against the son of a billionaire.

My parents got a Husqvarna Automower and it is so awesome. Perfect lawn 365 days a year

I actually remember watching this ages ago when looking into them. The Husqvarna looks like the best.

Nothing beats the manly pull of the starter on a petrol lawnmower.

RAAAARR, HEAR ME ROAR.

And the smell of petrol. Mmmmm mm


Also, can we talk about how excruciatingly annoying it is having someone with long hair living in your apartment at times. She sheds more hair than a dog for fucks sake. It's on the clothes even after i wash. It sticks to the rug like glue, and it's on your cock in the morning, sitting on the foreskin and fucking hurts to remove.

Wouldn't have a clue about most of those, but the department store one definitely isn't correct. I'm pretty dubious about the council house one as well.

People don't brute force passwords, it's done by tricking people into giving them away..if you want a strong password that is easily remembered...try something like yukonrachelfrog...


Anyway that zipline video I posted on Vimeo has had 152K views...really?

I never said anything about brute force. Your average user will pick "password", "letmein" or some other bollocks which don't need brute force. I did a project migrating a company to office 365 and all but one of them used letmein as a password.

certainly. brute forcing a password these days takes, on average, a stupendous amount of time even with the massive amounts of compute power we can employ to do so. what people tend to do, as you say, is use social-engineering and other tricks to get people to drop clues or even the whole thing. another method could be brute-forcing the person, e.g. you get hold of the person with access and apply a hammer until they tell you the password. that's fairly high profile and messy, but that's not to say it doesn't happen.

these days however, smart architects make sure there is no single person with the keys to the vault, and valuable information is generally tucked away in some fairly inaccessable place. this is where the really smart people play tbh, because you need planning and coordination along with l33t skills and a myriad other things to get to that data.

Edit:

yeah, well, some people deserve to be hacked ;-) j/k there's passwords and passwords tbh. I don't particularly consider Job's password example to be "strong", but it is a good example of the difference between what a human considers complex and what complexity really is. on a whim, I hashed up "yukonrachelfrog" and put a password cracker to work on the results. 15 hours later, it was still churning away on my little xeon at 430 cps. that doesn't mean the password is particularly hard, it just means that the hash, in this case SHA-512, is decent enough to withstand my paltry attempt to crack it. were I to have somthing like a nice dedicated cracker, or a bitcoin miner (which is basically the same thing tbh) that little hash wouldn't have stood a chance (iirc 8x AMD R9 cards can do something like 800M cps).

You are not wrong. The companies I deal with are not holders of super secret information nor are they worth enough money to be on anyones radar. So hacking for them is more likely to be some script kiddy arising around or another employee being a nosey twat.

But I was amazed when the head of HR with Sage Payroll on the desktop used letmein as a password. When I told them that Office 365 needed 8 characters they wanted letmein1. Another favourite is number plates because they have Capitals and Numbers. All my passwords are random 10 characters that Lastpass creates with Capitals, Lowercase, Numbers and Symbols. I have 2 factor authentication on Lastpass so you would need my fake word password for that and my mobile and the Pin for that to get my passwords. I know it is not 100% but I think it is better than letmein :)

One of my mates takes it further and has a Password Vault that is offline only on his Server and Mobile. He also changes all his email addresses using aliases in google. So nothing has his real email address. He uses AmaCoUK-email@gmail.com and AmaCom-email@gmail.com so you need to guess his made up email and his password to hack him.

I'm not up to speed on this but how do password crackers get past three tries and you are locked out until an admin resets you.
What systems allow continous attempts?

Don't they normally get a dump of data like Sony lost that contains the password hash and then just cracking the hash? Then if you have not changed it they just log on as you.

Well if you want to attack the hash then yes, you do kind of need to either have it or know how it was constructed. then you can do several different things depending on what your goal is.

There's a fairly nice example on the internets where someone explains quite well what cracking a hash entails, how long it approximately takes and such. Also, why you have to do such a thing reasonably quickly, which is basically a social reason funnily enough. I already knew that GPU's are generally ace for specific tasks, but there are certain things they suck at which is why we still have your bog standard CPU.

At workies we recently did some testing for one of our compute clusters and running on GPU was still miles better than anything else by at worst case a factor of 10. This was running on 128 of these puppies btw. Our shit is other-worldly :)

Passwerds are teh bullsheetz anyway.

It's all about multiple-verification stuff anyway.
