One of the thousands of hackers who nowadays are in the Internet, personalities as The Mentor or the same Jeff Moss (creator of the world conference of hackers) and different many, his name Johan Manuel Méndez a hackers that achievement to filter in computers with files classified.
A rebellious boy, that at the age of 15 the intelligent young woman was not present at the school today with only 17 years, and it began at his 12 years in the world of the topic of the hacking to be able to enter the field of the computer science, that alone achievement to accede to the big computers the challenge for the boy to manage to enter, to search, and to feel satisfaction of to seeing come beyond finding these faults trying exploits and vulnerabilities in the system ….
Months behind already he had found faults in other systems and was not the first time not serious the last one, had found faults and bring them in order that they were arranging them They were a good intention of my part.
I write the hackers in his publication of his web site also to emphasized by his good action, in faults seek in different sites for webs this way them to bring to his respective administrators in order that then they repair them, it seems to be a good action after everything of same hackers.
Security measures are very insecure Internet: hacker says
The famous hackers Johan Manuel Mendez says, that Internet security measures are very insecure.
Today in the world we live in, anyone with the motivation, time enough, no girlfriend or wife, can infringe any computer system. " Mendez says.
From passwords to web sites are used to commit crimes, fraud and even fraud.
In many web pages are manuals that tell the user how to put a password and even wikipedia talks about it, this is the case of the web site materiaoscura.com an article on Wednesday, June 21, 2006 talks about how to put a password, as well as many websites on the Internet and part of the article says they post here.
All we have the problem of having to choose a password at some point. In fact, sometimes the weird thing is the day we do not have to choose a password. It seems a simple job well because they always put the same well for what I have to go to love others?
First, put the same password for everything is not a good idea. No matter how safe this is, you should not put the same password on your current account in the forum acabasde sign up. Why? Because you know nothing of that forum, and the best is done precisely to capture passwords.
And for what would anyone want to access your computer? Well to clear tracks. Let me explain. I want to enter illegally server, or threaten anyone or send 10000 emails advertising. If I do my computer will be detected and at least ignored (banned) without my suffering attacks effect the next time, or I can be pursued and reported. If I do it from your computer and then erase the traces, the attacker has been you, not me. And I'm not talking about science fiction. It happens daily and is dangerous.
We know that is not appropriate to have simple passwords, now what assurance do we choose? Make it clear that security is opposed to comfort. Since then a different password for each forum / email / web ... such as "dsñE *-[)<[ ê) 4% &" changed every 3 months is very safe, but is useless because no one can memorize that, or remember 20 different passwords and, in addition to rememorizar every 3 months. On the other hand, put the same password for everything we have seen that has its problems. And choose as your password your name, your date or your last name is useless.
Often insists that unused words in the dictionary, much less the same user name or password only numeric password. The existing password verification systems can be tested tens of thousands of words per second. A password checker first test if the password is equal to the user, then if it is a dictionary word and then begins to brute force attacks.
When talking dictionary attacks many believe that if your word is not in the dictionary are safe, and not true. These dictionaries include traditional dictionary words, but also seasoned with specific topics of movies, books, music and endless terms. Have been enriched further collected passwords on systems such as Hotmail committed when their safety. Those thousands of passwords is as original as many of you can imagine.
Brute force attacks are those that are trying to produce random sequences of letters and characters. Start testing by the numbers. A 6-character numeric password has 1,000,000 possible combinations. Does it seem a lot? Only a few seconds of checks to one of these engines with old Pentium, imagine with several network stations.

The Administration Obama is finalizing the creation inside the structure of the Pentagon of a new cyber-command.
La Administración Obama está ultimando la creación dentro de la estructura del Pentágono de un nuevo ciber-comando. Su función específica será velar por la seguridad de las redes de ordenadores militares de Estados Unidos, amenazadas por la intrusión de «hackers» vinculados especialmente a países como China y Rusia. Esa nueva entidad también se encargaría de lanzar ofensivas informáticas como parte de futuros conflictos más digitales que analógicos.
La confirmación oficial de esta iniciativa -avanzada por el «Wall Street Journal»- ha sido calificada como inminente, aunque el Pentágono llevaría un año estudiando esta nueva estructura que debería ser oportunamente notificada al Congreso. Al menos inicialmente, la nueva entidad estaría asociada al Comando Estratégico del Pentágono...
