Story: How to crack passwords, and why you should
Posted by: Anonymous (Thursday 2 June 2005, 4:10 PM)
I doubt anybody actually gave them real passwords...or gave them to "spite" an IT department. Most people don't live under such a jaded mindset as yourself. But if somone was going to give me some STarbucks for "my" password. I would come up with yet another one of "my" passwords and give it to them.
That was an insanely stupid test. Even so, back to the point of the article -- if you are cracking and revealing passwords and then somebody else knows the passwords (the pasword cracker) then why not give them away because then they are useless. Thus cracking passwords is contradictory to the spirirt of most corporate policies that forbid giving somebody else your password.
