Are you looking for a new password for your church website? I recently cracked the pope’s login for the Vatican website, it is EtCumSpiri220 (for security reasons I won’t reveal his username). One online password-strength checker suggests it is “strong” which must be why it took me quite a while to crack it. Below there are certain other passwords I have cracked. In the comments you can suggest whom they are used by. And also add any others you can think of or have cracked.
- bcp1662 – weak
- acanzp1992 – medium
- anzpbhkmoa1989 – medium
- cw2000 – weak
- filioque1054 – medium
- VocatusAtqueNonVocatusDeusAderit1961 – best
I didn’t know hacking was a pastime of yours! 🙂
Interesting! Now how did you do that?
More importantly, how did you crack them? Please tell me! Cheers!
Cool, now we can read that Third Secret!
several questions come to mind…
1. do you not have enough real work to do?
2. who else have you been trying to hack?
3. has the pope changed his password yet?
blessings… i think…
This makes me think of a scheme over here in England to put medical records on an internet-based scheme, which has one very basic flaw: if it’s on the web, it can be cracked.
How about Bosco123? That sounds pretty solid.
Generally, if I can remember my password then it is not strong enough.
Lauree I hope you noticed my tags – but I’m not sure about your tone as it has neither tags nor an emoticon 🙁
I’m still waiting for a creative one using 666 😉
I wonder if the “cracked the pope’s login” part of the story is a bit of fabulous fictive frivolous fable to add flavour to the feature? Anyway, I see you can google the “EtCumSpiri220” password mentioned, and I wouldn’t really like to see anyone use passwords that return results from google (and, of course, certainly not a dictionary word). The problem with that Microsoft password checker in the link above is that it does not take into account well-known (or otherwise guessable) passwords. I remember telling a group of secretaries about good and bad passwords, and when I mentioned people often use something like the name of their cat, one person looked very embarrassed!
I hope everyone has read: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/21/technology/21password.html by now. I’d just like to add: avoid passwords that are suggested by the context, not just your account name backwards with a few digits added, but also theological (even Latin) phrases in the context of church-related systems, for example. And don’t re-use your most important passwords on other, less secure, systems.
Like you, Mark, I wonder when Jesus begins, “There was a man who…”, or “A man was going down from…” whether Jesus also is using a bit of fabulous fictive frivolous fable to add flavour to the feature – and he didn’t add tags to give that point away. Nor did the gospel writers add emoticons ;-(
bosco
you are always entertaining… my tags would be sarcasm and humor (spelled in the american way)
emoticons… hmmm :~)

For some reason I was expecting some vague reference to ‘the keys’! Very amusing 🙂

errr….
Sorry to disappoint, but Etcumspiri220 only works if you are an English speaker … zweizweizero not quite the same!
Great idea, though!
Fr Peter, you made my morning! LOL!
