Thanks for sharing!

I particularly liked this quote from the first link.

The password choosing scheme of a 6-year old...when you’re a
target...really?

Its crazy how so many people think their small password is secure enough though a hacker doesn't even need to crack it but instead guess it.

One thing I've learned is that a strong password is the foundation of a secure system.

K1llTh3C0rruption, it really depends. If it's a password on a website, you might aswell make a 3 digit crappy password, as it's most likely just going to get intercepted with mitm attacks ;)

MaXe, I've never heard of ZaCon either. Will look at it :)
