Have you ever wondered how hackers get your passwords? Most of the time it was using a Brute-force hacking script program. One like the picture below
Brute-force is very real and can be very scary. So how do you protect against being hacked? Well its by creating very strong passwords. A number of sites are trying to better protect their members by plain out banning certain passwords that are easily hacked. Twitter has currently 370 banned passwords which I have included below. If you find that one of the passwords you use is on the list (be it twitter or any other site) then think about changing it. Its scary to think how many ppl have their password set as "password".
To make your password secure you need to include the following rules:
-
Use Uppercase Letters
-
Use Lowercase letters
-
Use Numbers
-
Use Symbols (like !@#*)
a password such as "1gEEk@Dr0p!" is going to be stronger then "geekdrop" - use the rules above. Now think about the rules and be smart because the hacker will. Like my name is Debbie and my birthday is May 1st so using a password like "Debbie0501" wouldn't be advised since that can be figured out.
Here are the list of banned passwords by Twitter because well they are easily hacked. If you use one of these passwords (anywhere) then you might want to change it.

I think they are border-line legal, but I'm not sure.
#260 surprised me, since it's not a normal name...
I think they are border-line legal, but I'm not sure.
yep you are right they are like keyloggers and remote keyloggers, they are legal to use on YOUR own computer(s) but not on anyone elses. Now parents can use them on computers they purchased for jr if jr is under 18. Its a fine line that could change state to state - country to country so check first.
Devil at #260 (I know alot of ppl that could go by that name)
SM i hate 2 but in and shoot things down, but bruteforceing isnt used anymore because its just too old of a cracking system, bruteforce is where the program literally guesses your password, and could take forever, literally forever,dictionary attacks (use of a word list to crack a password) is also unused because most sites now require you to have a 6-8 digit min to 16digit max alphanumeric password, wh8ich makes even the longest dictionary words, almost no use. keyloggers are allowed, but everyone be warned, remote keyloggers do open ports in your compuiter that can make it highly vulnerable to attack, so use extreme caution when choosing and installing a remote or local keylogger,
The use of bruteforce programs is legal to ONLY and I mean ONLY test the vulnerability of a persons site/computer, and can only be done with the site admin/owner computer owner written permission. that is the only way that bruterforcing or security pentration testing is allowed at all.
Well I can tell you on many hacking sites that brute-force is still hot and running. I see them post log in and passwords to sites they crack all the time. Keyloggers are allowed only for certain reasons - they can vary from state to state so if you use one check with your state.
Do they still brute force WEP these days, even though WEP isn't used quite as much anymore? I haven't messed with any of that stuff in a long time. Fallin a lil behind on the latest wifi hacking tech.
SPY SAPPIN' MAH WYFY!!!!1!!1!! 
not sure, theres some new stuff out now, but i dont keep up with the hacking ware, i just keep an eye on it,
There are a few programs out there that are available on rapidshare for download (I see them posted on warez sites) but the oldies and goodies like Brute-Force and Cain & Abel programs are still there and being used.
It amazes me that ppl use "123456" and "password" as passwords but they do.
If Your Password Is 123456, Just Make It HackMe
Who's New
are brute-force programs legal? some of the blocked passwords surprised me since they are normal names.
