This should be _VERY_ easy to record by your self...

and you could focus on things you wish....

seriously what it takes?
some machine with www serv. install joomla or whatever
and launch your favorite tool.....


and you maybe will benefit somehow from it ;)

cheers!

Hi
Can anyone recommend a video showing how easy it can be to brute force
a web application that I can show to non-technical people. I want
something quick and polite - preferably no leet speak banners or that
type of thing - that I can show to both board level people and just
generally to friends and family who chose bad passwords for web
applications.

I've just been with a client who, after being told a dictionary word
was bad, just put a 3 in instead of an e and thought she was
completely secure. It didn't help that the password was only 5
characters!

Thanks

Robin
