If you’re concerned about that you use an anonymizer so they wouldn’t have your IP address, or better yet, go there from machines where you don’t use the password you want to test.

I just tried a bunch of passwords with securitystats and then I got to thinking they might could be storing those passwords and tracking the ip they came from and do an ssh storm trying uname combos with the password. Tricky.

This is a good reminder to me that it’s time to change some of my own passwords. Some of them are so old they’re stagnant and crusty. Also, a little fragile.

There are so many passwords to remember these days … sometimes it becomes a bit tiring. I have a few different variants and tricks I use that are supposed to keep me from forgetting what passwords I’m using. Doesn’t always work though.
