Introduction The seminar was on a very interesting evaluation done on the strength of password meters. Almost all of us are exposed to password-strength meters in our everyday life. The general representation of password meter is a colored bar which when seen as a short red bar indicates a weak password and a long green bar indicates a strong password. The real purpose of a password meter is to show the path for better security to its users. However the strengths and weaknesses of these widely deployed
INTRODUCTION This topic is about password reuse and password sharing whereby password reuse is a practice that might be dangerous to any organisation’s security if exercised continuously by employees. This is a process of using the same password for a long time after it was reset or expired. And password sharing can be the process of employees giving each other’s password to use if for example one employee is not at work he or she can ask the other one to give his or her password so that one can perform

Concepts, Principles and Practice– 3rd edition. Chapter 9 Pages 255”. The steps of access control process are: a) Identification to unique user ID. It can be a combination of first and last name. b) Authentication which contains known by user (like password, PIN, Phrase and pass code), accessories own by user (like Keypads, smart cards and tokens) and something personally related to the user’s body (Biometric systems including voice recognition, fingerprinting and retinal scanners). c) Accounting
for implementing SAML protocol is imperative. In addition, with the proliferation of SaaS (Software as a Service), and other web based applications, identity management has become challenging for various enterprises. Handling so many usernames and passwords for your intranet, cloud, webmail, HR system, and other resources is nothing but bothersome especially when your workforce is huge. This is where SAML is desperately needed. Many hosted services providers support SAML for authentication including
In this paper, I will discuss various methods that those who want this access use and ways they can be prevented. Many people feel that because they use passwords their files are secure and can’t be hacked. They unknowingly leave their networks open to attack without protection thinking everything is fine. Hackers can easily get into password protected files once they have access to a computer system. One way to prevent this is to use a firewall. A firewall prevents unauthorized users from gaining
MN502 NETWORK SECURITY (lab 1) 1. What are the different types of password attacks? Types of password attacks: Brute force attack: It is an attack, the attacker continuously trying too many passwords hoping that it was correct. Dictionary attack: It is an attack, the attacker cracking the password by millions of words in a dictionary Social engineering: It is a type of attack for gathering information using social network. Guessing: It is an attack by our best friends, …… and these attacks on

Users are also notorious for leaving passwords written down in close proximity to their devices. Some users take this a step further and keep a list of a rotation of all the passwords they use. Passwords also present another weak link in the fact that they can be shared between users, or given out durin... ... middle of paper ... ...hether it is voluntary or involuntary
Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and Security Audit In the computing world, the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) refers to the set of rules that are applied by the manager of a particular computer network or website that helps to restrict the ways in which the website or network can be used (Ciampa, 2012). The AUP documents are normally written for the service providers in order to help reduce any potential legal action taken by a user subscribing to such services. Sanctions are usually imposed on a service

As written in Cryptek (2001), there are some problems make the inside network security is vulnerable from attack such as: the server operating systems and the password protection on most corporate network is sometimes do not work well. Moreover, the router access controls are often not enough secure and many the network systems are not perfect configured, which enable illegal outsiders enter the company network
usernames and passwords repeatedly until one is correct and access is granted to the intruder. A brute force attack starts with the letter “a” and works its way up eventually finding out weak passwords like “password”, “1qaz2wsx” or “123456789”. Brute force attack does not exclude anyone from any organization. Brute force attack is dependent of computer processing speed and the time it has to find the right password combination. Often times, users create weak usernames and passwords which makes brute
current design that provides multiple sites for company employees. Currently, employees wishing to access company related information are required to access approximately eight different websites and maintain records for different user names and passwords for each site. This paper will outline the design specifics that will be necessary for full integration and user functionality of the new web-based portal. One of the initial design considerations when looking at this project was the overall network
Christian Computer Applications II 8 April 2015 Computer Security How can your password be stolen? And how do you stop someone from stealing your password? Are there levels of computer security? And if there are what are they? All of these questions will be answered and maybe even more. How can your password be stolen? There are many ways your password can be stolen. For example, you might be putting in your password and someone looks over your shoulder. But that is only one of many ways. In the

It is the responsibility of every user to devising Ways on improving the privacy of data by creating more complex passwords and avoid common mistakes of the so obvious or likely to guess passwords, this can be achieved through the service providers as a way of enlightening the customers towards privacy and data protection on any device that connects to the internet.

Handle Naoki Hiroshima was the owner of a rare Twitter handle of just one letter, @N. The handle is rare enough that he had been offered as much as fifty thousand dollars for it (Naoki Hiroshima, 2014). His account was often the target of theft via password reset attempts, so he thought nothing of it when on January 20th 2014, he got a text from PayPal with an account change validation code, but later that day when he checked his email, Naoki saw an email with a confirmation from GoDaddy stating that

Upon in- processing employees are presented with numerous passwords that they tend to write down on paper and attached to their desk or computer this represents a major security flaw to any company that processes classified information.
