Algorithm can crack your password


BBC failed to highlight this fact.
A good program should have both positive and negative comments.

Bum sucking is a political game!

Algorithm can crack your password

I am not a truth seeker or truth hunter but a believer in truth.
The truth is the Internet is filled with untruth and it spies on you every second for no logical reason but for profit for giant corporations as big as Google, Facebook and Twitter.

I did not include Amazon by mistake.

If you look at all are Americans but China is entering with hacker mentality.
KGB did that in the past unfortunately Russian Mafiosi (East Europeans, too) is doing that now.
I came from the Linux fraternity with ethical hacking as a necessity for cooperative endeavour devoid of profit only mentality.

But if one is good in Linux one can use the tools in Linux like, piping, filtering, scripting and debugging the code to save you from somebody using an algorithm to crack your password of your email (may be your paranoid spouse suspecting you).

That is about the PC but your cellphone is the worst enemy of you letting others know every bit of you are thinking or planning for future to exploit you in mid air.

I was paranoid once. An Indian guy snoozed on my computer on behalf of Microsoft and traced him back to his loose Internet connection and warned him.
I never saw him again in daylight or night since I used a Linux script to follow his whereabouts.
That is the only time I had a misgiving with a short password.
My password now is 18 characters long and any algorithm that cracks it, I will give he or she the Nobel Prize in Hacking (Utility).
None of my private stuff is not out in the web.
They belong to me and nobody can violate it.
I used to say if I was born in America due to my inborn antagonism to authority including teachers would have killed me by 20 years.
If I did not rise again the nasty teacher, I had, I wouldn't have progressed, in life and academic cycles.
I am immune to cellphone.

It can even cause tumours in the brain in young girls and I do not mind our politicians getting brain cancers.

I use it for playing light games, only three of them in all.
It cannot play Pingue and Bubble game my favourite games.
The cellphone is your earthwhile enemy, if you are doing some critical work.

I am afraid you are not going to hear, I relate, any good dreams for a while and I was under the weather, this time not due to verbal diarrhea of a political variety but really runny bottoms which virtually dehydrated me and the forced starvation had caused even hypoglyaemia to the extent, I have a slight headache even interfering my prolonged sleep on a Poya Day.
What usually happen is I have a good invigorating dream on Pre-poya day and I go straight to the computer and an email to Maha Brhma who virtually responds instantaneously to my dreams.
You may remember, we had an agreement unless the dream content has some humour, both ways my actual dreaming of it and its interpretation by Maha which makes the earthling practically starving of a good laugh, keep amused away from our boring politicians.
Suffice is to say I had some little fragmented dreams of no significance but a good one is long due.
Probably our cricket team’s poor performance and Sanga’s muted Revelations of Sri-Lankan Cricket would get no Sri-Lankan into a good mood awake or in dreams.
I have to agree with Sanga that Cricket was not something alienated with power politics or racial overtones whether it is South, North, East, West of in the Central Hills in the past but it seems under the present regime it has become alienated to extent one who is a Buddhist and coming from deep south only will get a chance to play for Sri-Lankan team as a newcomer and  s/he should be in the ruling party as a member of the parliament or avid supporter to get some contracts to fatten his or her foreign exchange illegally. Corruption is ripe and only difference is unlike Indians our officers are cushioned by political maneuvers.
This is what Sanga could not state (not the 9 O’clock News item) but his resignation at a time when we had not groomed a viable successor, is an indication of his disgust how cricket is managed here in Sri-Lanka.
  Well done Sanga, you come from the hill capital was the only one like our  Late Kadhiragarman who value principles of good governance.  I suppose you should  now concentrate on law rather than cricket. 
 
Be a chip of the old block.
Time will tell who with the political backing will get the baton but who ever who comes with political baton will be sure to fail, since cricket is the only game where power politics has no place.
England has shown us how it is done with transparency and I won’t be surprised if England will lift the Cup next time around if they persevere with combination of youth with talent and senors with grit.
Just for record the criticism of of Trot was unwarranted and he is the one who helped to lift the cup and silenced English armchair critics.
Well done Trot you have more to offer as a Senior Player, if Sanath can play at 41 plus you should be playing at 38 plus if you keep your fitness, technique and solid temperament to win the game for your country right, in the shorter version of the game.
But if you are not up to it don’t wait like Peterson but follow the Thescovic example and play for your county till 40 plus and enjoy the gentleman game.
I hope you will be in the team which lift the next world cup and I will be following you very closely if not the others in your team and if you need a push I will certainly give it, far away from your home from the East.
Make sure you beat Indians this time round in summer like what you did in Australia.
Indian money and politicians are ruining the game and only English can save the game from disgrace, IPL included. 
We should never allow Bolliwood to fashion the game!
Please do not follow Chandimal and Mathews methods and they have learned these very, very bad habits from our politicians who have nothing but using fallen soldiers for their grandiose acts posthumously.
I am far off the target from Linux and Debian in particular.
Reason for diversion is nothing but I am waiting for the download of the last two DVDs in 386 version (I have 64 bit version) which is pretty fast due to so many seeders.
Now I have array of CDs/DVDs to promote Sinhala Linux and devoting my time for Debian during our industrial action which has given me ample time to sit in front of the computer.
Debian has produced bug fixes and I have downloaded them too.
I am gland they have followed my advice to break the distributions into Bonobo to Gorilla versions and Light Weight Chimp Versions of 500 MiB is the one that is going to rule the world for next 20 years with “Cloud Computing” on the horizon and Tabloids invading the market with very very cheap hardware.
I think Deann fork should follow Unity experience while maintaining Linux Mint under Debian fold.
Next 10 years should be the Linux Penetration Decade (LPD) of the masses which is only 1% currently. 
 If Linux can make it to 10%, it is going to be a market force and the other 90% should be the “Cloud Servers” which will dominate the next 20 years until another innovation hits the web.
