password are the most commonly used way to authenticate oneself.
follow the following steps to secure your passwords:-
NOTE-these steps apply to both passwords for file and web based email account password and email clients also.
>DO NOT choose your name/wife's name/child's name/friend's name/brother's or sister's name.
>DO NOT use a combination of any of the above with birth dates(any body's from your family even yours)
>Never choose passwords that you cannot remember.
>TRY to choose a password that uses both uppercase and lowercase leters.
>TRY to choose a password that has numbers and special characters in addition to normal letters.
>NEVER choose a password that is short,passwords having length of 10-15+ characters are more secure since it is difficult to crack them using BRUTE FORCING TECHNIQUE(in brute force a script tries all possible combinations of the keys found on a keyboard)
>DO NOT use a password that is found in a dictionary dictionary based attacks can easily crack the pasword.
>THE BEST password would be the one having more than 15 characters with uppercase and lowerrcase characters,numbers and special characters.

Bonus tip: all have a habbit of saying some line most of the times. eg. Akshay kumar in Ajnabee says "everything is planned". Bobby deol guesses it.
What we can do is change it to something like
1. gnihtyrevesidennalp (each word reversed)
2. dennalpsignihtyreve (whole line reversed)
3. you can even try to reverse it in syllable like eve-ry-thi-ng is plan-ned and then using the above two words.
4. Use a line in ur mother tongue.
5. birthdays r easy to remember. lets say ur bday is 10/07/83
u can modify ur password in first case as gnihtyreve10si07dennalp83

Plus points: easy to remember dates, frequently used lines,encrypted in ur own algo
Negative points: need to develop a good algo but it wont take much time and is worth it.

forrget the repeating man, go and find a good dictionary that what da hell hacking means?!!

A hacker is a person who creates and modifies computer software and computer hardware, including computer programming, administration, and security-related items. hacker is one who knows a set of programming interfaces well enough to write software rapidly and expertly.
Hackers build things, crackers break them.

i think that can shut ur mouth.

Generaly speaking hackers are of two types.Those intends to do it for fun and profit.The second group consists of those who "trying" to stop them.The first group is called "black hats".The second group is called "white hats".

If telling correctly hackers are advanced computer users.The real people who we are trting to define here are called crackers.but theese days crackers are people who break PC software protections and develop key gens.

Here is a good link about the topic:
*www.answers.com/topic/hacker-computer-security

@mihirvashist
You are a hacker if you are able to hack into a secured computer system.You belong to the group according to your intentions and work.You are a white hat.

Have they taught you the difference between hackers, crackers, phishers, script kiddies et al?
Hackers are those who like to play around with softwares and get into it to show off to their peers. They don't attack for money. They don't attack small businesses, individuals. They do something that will earn them fame and recognition.
Hackers aren't the ones to destroy internet. In fact hackers are the ones who build the Internet. Look at the history of the internet, they are the ones who got it from ARPANet to Internet. Hackers hardly even used pre-built tools. They work upon and make their own tools. Those commonly shown tools are hardly useful for their standards.
On the other hand, cracker are the ones who attack people to steal data. They are the ones with malicious attempts.
And others like script kiddies hardly have much knowledge, they just use tools acquired from the net, those are easily available.
And coming back to the topic of passwords. Yes, more obscure the password the better. And passwordless logins are even better. But, nothing is ever totally secure.
There's one very true saying
Security is as strong as it's weakest link. And the weakest link is the human element.
And if you truly want to learn go beyond whatever is being taught to you there. Look around on the internet. You will find vast resources on these topics. Slowly you will find volumes of information if you look keep onn looking about and gaining knowledge.
I am no hacker/cracker/scrpit kiddie but I myself love computer security and how vulnerable it is.

Exactly....dude...i know whts the difference between hackers crackers script kiddie(where i belong)........white hat and black hat hackers..........

my purpose of asking the above questions were to know whether companies do give any sort of importance to this certificate or not........

i guess through the knowledge u grasp its better for me to do asian cyber laws course.......

first thing hackers must master atlest one language so that they can use that language and create programs to enter a comp....anyhow
(i havent yet said the person want to damage the system)

and in hacking age doesnt matter........check for svan jaschan.....this guy at 17 years of age created 80 billion dollar loss.........he was the author of netsky virus........

but my purpose of this post is....u still are unable to differentiate btw hackers and crackers...than whts the use of spending 6k on such courses.........

also guys is ccsp related to routers stuff or wht????....and does ccnp concerns with programming aspect to any extent?????

this post of mine and i really appreciate them all since i learn

first, i m a 12 year old adn i dont think that i am a hacker coz i dont know programming but i know hacking with da registry. i learn things from my expirience.

i appretiate u for that info. but i think u have said much far dan u should.
mind it dude if i do hurt u!!!:D
i think that i m a geek acc. to my age(i know age is no bar) but atleast i am on my way acc. to my mates....

well i appreciate the effort taken by mihirvashist to share some information with us as i know of a lot people out there who are not aware of the possible dangers the internet holds ...... and as far as ashisharya is concerned if he is 12yrs i think v can give him the benefit of doubt as it is a childly behaviour to react and make provocative statements ...... and to all the 'geeks' who think that there's no1 like them out there and try to explain the difference between hackers and crackers i think mihirvashist is right in making use of the term 'ethical hackers' as only people like u who are highly knowledgable in the field of computer know the difference and a large number of people are nt aware of the difference ....... remeber guys ....

what is unethical about hacking ? Hacking is very positive word and
there in no need to put "Ethical" before it

While typing your password, use the windows on-screen keyboard. This might help you from key-loggers.
