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!

Abstract:
"Every password today, no matter for what application or
what it secures, is built on a base of 68 "letters" or
characters. Some applications use less, but none use more.
Brute force password cracking has become more and more
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.

But there is a solution. There are more than 1,000 other
letters that no one knows about! With these extra letters,
it is possible to make passwords that are, for all
practical purposes, uncrackable!"

we could do with the traffic

What you do with any automated brute force method if the O/S
has a limit on attempts before it locks out the cracker or the
legit owner has installed even mildly sophisticated attempt
limited utilities?
