Hi all,
For those of you paranoid about their security, this is the
perfect document
for you. My company just finished publishing this whitepaper,
and we've
launched it
on our forums in hopes that it will make your PC more secure.
As a matter of
fact, we can guarantee it will!

Guarantee: How? What is your company? Where is the forum
located? Seems like you should have that info all right here.


Abstract:
"Every password today, no matter for what application or what
it secures, is
built on a base of 68 "letters" or characters.
====> Do you mean "base 68", or "based on" a length of 68
characters?
Long passwords can easily surpass 68 characters and some do.

Some applications use less,
but none use more. Brute force password cracking has become
more and more
====> "none use more"? Someone needs to do further research
there. <g>

viable due to the exponentially increasing power of individual
machines and
the even greater power of the government's cluster servers,
making it now an
easy and fast way of recovering any password.
====> Brute force is more or less old fashioned nowadays. There
are much more elegant methods being used today.

But there is a solution. There are more than 1,000 other
letters that no one
knows about!
====> "no one knows about"?? THAT is a statement from a white
paper? That's a strange white paper, indeed! Besides, it would
never call them "letters"; this is obviously phoney.

With these extra letters, it is possible to make passwords that
are, for all practical purposes, uncrackable!"
====> Much shorter passwords, "for all practical purposes" are
equally or more "uncrackable". In reality, it wouldn't take all
that long for just a couple of machines to crack a password with
simply 68 "letters". A permutation is no more than that: A
permutation.

According to Google, you're only spamming (so far)
Microsoft.public newsgroups: I wonder why that is? Aren't
passwords imortant to other operating systems? I would think a
white paper would be more amenable to a different range of
targets.

Go figger
