User Passwords and security risks

[Damien Manuel <dm () xyplex org>]

Greetings,

Does anyone have any statistics or raw data on the risks associated with 
user based passwords in terms of the frequency of easily guessable 
passwords and how different password policies and user education affects 
the outcome?

Regards,

Damien Manuel, CISSP.
