I think one of the major issues is: stupid passwords. I've spent time at places that have completely asinine password policies (must be 8 characters or longer, letters and numbers and at least 2 symbols, no spaces, no 2 characters within every 4 characters can be the same, etc.
... and the password must be changed every 30 days, of course none of the last 8762 passwords used can be recycled
I'm probably just rambling. But I really hate the common password policies.
You're not alone :) cheers, Toralv _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
