Online Security Tools

On the VPN thread, I posted a link to Gibson Research Group

https://www.grc.com

On their site they have a number of tools that you can use to check various aspects of your security measures.

An interesting one is to check your password `crackability` - you can put a password into the text bar and it will check the strength of it and whether it can be cracked or not by various methods.

Interestingly, a seemingly simple and easy to remember password such a c@t................. - nonsense word comprising two letters, one character and seventeen dots making a password of twenty letters/characters in length will take 84.50 billion trillion centuries to crack under normal circumstances and 8.45 hundred billion centuries if using the most powerful of computers in an array.

Check yours now.
