crack this password!

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2011.04.19

It turns out that the "strong" password I've been using for my email accounts was weaker than the one I use for "everyday" websites.

Well, that's according to this evaluation tool. And if you can't trust a website called "Hammer of God" who can you trust?

I've since changed my password from something based on a keyboard walk to something from a song that will allegedly take nearly 17 years for the NSA to crack.

Who said that IT audits were nothing but a problem? I've learned something from every one I've participated in (and hey, I'm getting paid).

I'm constantly amazed at how difficult it is to break free of the straitjacket of the immediately urgent.
