We use neither method. We do it the quick and easy way. We've built tools that decrypt and read the encrypted password directly from the database file in a fraction of a second, regardless of the length of the password, which can be up to 20 characters.

A brute force attack is the attempt to use every valid character one by one, in every combination, to open the database file -- until the correct combination actually opens the file. The correct combination of characters is, of course, the password. See similar questions...

Have a look at other product we have: Advanced Office Password Breaker (AOPB). Because of U.S. crypto export regulations, the key length in RC4 algorithm used for encrypting the document is only 40 bits, and that means that the total number of possible encryption keys is 2^40 = 1,099,511,627,776. So instead of testing all possible passwords, AOPB test all possible encryption keys. And once the key is found, it decrypts the document, so the password is no longer required to open it.

A brute force password-guessing attack is an attempt by a user or a program to try multiple combinations of characters, or perhaps of words or other commonly-used strings, to find the password associated with a specific account. See similar questions...

Yes, it has Plesk like protection: the number of invalid login attempts and the invalid login lock time. See similar questions...

Yes. Go to the Windows registry using Start->Run->"regedit". Note that you will be modifying the registry at your own risk. It is always better to save a copy of the registry before modifying it. From the registry, look for all entries having MultiNet, and delete them. This is better done in safe mode. Also run "MultiNetSvc.exe -remove" to remove the service. Think of this value as a timeout value for switching a card to another network. See similar questions...

A dictionary attack uses a large file that often contains from one to five million words or more (these are all words that one can easily find in a dictionary), then attempts to open the database file using an individual word in the file as the password. If the first try doesn't work, then the next word in the dictionary is used for the next attempt. See similar questions...

In a nutshell: If f(x) = y and you know y and can compute f, you can find x by trying every possible x. That's brute-force search. Example: Say a cryptanalyst has found a plaintext and a corresponding ciphertext, but doesn't know the key. He can simply try encrypting the plaintext using each possible key, until the ciphertext matches---or decrypting the ciphertext to match the plaintext, whichever is faster. See similar questions...

The last password recovery technique, brute force, takes substantially longer than any other recovery technique, although the performance can get up to about fifteen million passwords per second! With a brute force method, the password recovery application simply tries all possible combinations until the password is found. Given enough time, the brute force password recovery technique will be successful. Of course, the data might be useless by that time. See similar questions...

Yes, the best password protection you can give yourself is to keep your passwords private and make them unique to their purpose. Use a different and distinct password for each different application. The best passwords contain alpha and numeric characters and include nonsense syllables rather than real words. Even then, passwords can sometimes be captured and saved by someone to access your personal information, so it's best to change them often. See similar questions...

Over the years we have determined that more often than not, most translation "issues" can be traced back to a dictionary that simply needed some clean-up. Obviously, dictionaries from older StenoCAT versions have better conversion rates than those from other systems, but our technical support staff has plenty of experience helping our customers convert to their new system.

If you summon on Citizen, summon becoming citizen of that city (not sure if you summon on enemy, but still - DON'T do that unless you are summoning on enemy criminal), if you summon on traveller - creature will become neutral (however you will sometimes see it as citizen, but actually its neutral). If you are citizen and hit creature which is citizen of your city - it will NOT fight back (Exception: Guards). See similar questions...

Answer: Brute Force is considered stronger than Androbolin. It contain a higher saponin and protodiosin content. See similar questions...

Brute-force password cracking is simply trying a password of A with the given salt, folowing by B, C, and on and on until every possible character combination is tried. It is very time consuming, but given enough time brute force cracking WILL get the password. See similar questions...

Use unusual passwords. Never use familiar names such as the names of your children or the name of your company as passwords. Your initial password will be a randomly generated, 6-character password. You must change this initial password the first time you log on to the system. Must be between 6 and 16 characters in length and must be different from the previous 4 passwords you have used for this system. Be equal to patterns consisting of 6 keys in a row on the keyboard (i.e. qwerty, asdfgh, etc. See similar questions...

There is an Extras Menu option available from the Setup >> System >> Users window. You may select this option from the menu bar and change the dates recorded as the last password changed dates to 01-Jan-1980. This then forces the passwords to become expired and the users will be forced to change their password on next login. Note that you must enable at least 1 grace login to allow them to change their password after it has expired. See similar questions...
