and computer security is a funny thing, the more security protocols put in
place to protect a system the more gears there are to muck of the engine.
And none are successful if you have the username and password to get in.
There are lots of way for a prospective hacker to discover the username and
password of a user. Usernames are easy to find, most are e-mail names so all
that remains is a password. Finding the password may be a little more
difficult, but is still obtainable because people are creatures of habit and
use the same code for everything. And the code is almost always somebodys
name that is close to him or her. Still, that require more work that most
hacker want to do, and most users dont have enough access to get them
into anything of any real value. So what the next best thing? The network
Admins username and password, and how easy is thatreal easy baby.
I dont like to stereotype myself with any group or type, but computer people are all the bloody same. They watch the same TV shows, read all the same books, and use the same passwords. Thats right; use the same passwords. (as far as the goes end-users use the same passwords too.) So, in most cases its easy to just guess at from a list of command geek passwords.
The most common Password Pattern: Pet's name, User's own name or initials, Spouse's name Children's, names, Favorite sport, team, hobby, or recording artist. Birthdays (Women also use their wedding date or children's birthdays. Men never seem to use these.)
The four most common User Passwords are Love, God, Secret and Sex.
