500 Bad Passwords

The Top 500 Worst Passwords of All Time

From the moment people started using passwords, it didn’t take long to realize how many people picked the very same passwords over and over. Even the way people misspell words is consistent. In fact, people are so predictable that most hackers make use of lists of common passwords just like these. To give you some insight into how predictable humans are, the following is a list of the 500 most common passwords. If you see your password on this list, please change it immediately. Keep in mind that every password listed here has been used by at least hundreds if not thousands of other people.

There are some interesting passwords on this list that show how people try to be clever, but even human cleverness is predictable. For example, look at these passwords that I found interesting:

ncc1701 The ship number for the Starship Enterprise
thx1138 The name of George Lucas’s first movie, a 1971 remake of an earlier student project
qazwsx Follows a simple pattern when typed on a typical keyboard
666666 Six sixes
7777777 Seven sevens
ou812 The title of a 1988 Van Halen album
8675309 The number mentioned in the 1982 Tommy Tutone song. The song supposedly caused an epidemic of people dialing 867- 5309 and asking for “Jenny”

“…Approximately one out of every nine people uses at least one password on the list shown in Table 9.1! And one out of every 50 people uses one of the top 20 worst passwords..”

Lists the top 500 worst passwords of all time, not considering character case. Don’t blame me for the offensive words; you were the ones who picked these, not me.

OS X Mavericks and Anti-Virus

With the recent release of OS X Mavericks we have a whole new array of fun issues to take care of. Although we don’t support Mavericks yet, we have been working to better understand it in relation with our network compliance policies. The main issue so far has been that many anti-virus suites still don’t support Mavericks at this point (or at best they’re in beta and still buggy).

Symantec is currently working on getting something together to support Mavericks, but probably wont be ready until mid to late November. Sophos is also working on getting something together here in the next few weeks. At the moment, Avast! is the only anti-virus provider who claims to support Mavericks.

The Avast! version that is rumored to work best (note: some bugs still being reported) is the beta2 version, which can only be found on the Avast! forums. Download at:

http://files.avast.com/files/beta/avast_free_antivirus_mac_setup-beta2.dmg

Rather than waiting for all of these companies to come out with support for Mavericks we’ve found that with the new OS there is a work-around to keep Symantec. If a mac with a working and up to date Symantec suite is upgraded to OS X Mavericks then Symantec should continue to work fine, at least with what we’ve seen so far.

This is a screen shot of what a compliant mac running OS X Mavericks and Symantec will look like.

This is a screen shot of what a compliant mac running OS X Mavericks and Symantec will look like on our network.

This Symantec work-around only seems to work if the Mac in question already had Symantec installed, running, and up-to-date prior to upgrading to Mavericks. If someone does want to upgrade, try and advise them to at least use time machine before so that in the case of falling out of compliance with out network they can roll back to a working system.

Using Windows 8 Refresh Tool

Windows 8 has a very helpful built in refresh tool which re-installs windows without destroying your personal files and windows settings. Any apps that were not originally installed with the OS or downloaded from the Windows Store will be deleted and an HTML file will be created on the desktop detailing what software has been removed.

This tool is extremely helpful in many cases. If the computer is missing certain drivers or the OS is incorrectly installed, using refresh can make for an easy quick-fix.

For a step by step walk through on using Windows Refresh:
