Someone was using my account this morning (unauthorized, at that) so I sent a PM to that account titled "What the hell are you doing?"

Later I get a reply from my other account with just two chars as the message:

"42"


xD

That's wierd though. They were constantly at things like showprivate.php (note the lack of an ID) and thread.php (same), but did nothing.

Wierd.

Was your password that easy to crack?

I'd peg Jesper as the culprit myself but what do I know.

That's the wierd thing, only ... 2... people know it (not including myself; one's a trusted person (Melvin) and the other person was given it by Melvin because that person was pissed off at me XD...

It's not -that- easy to guess, it's 7 letters and is a misspelling of a name

Pfft, my password is 10 characters and is complete gibberish with a non-alphanumeric thrown in there. And I don't give it to ANYONE, trusted or no. What's wrong with you? =o

And I knew one of your passwords (if you have more than one), at some time.

If it was Jesper, 7 characters doesn't take too long to brute force from an MD5 hash.

I have several... even too many, at time. XD

And while it does not ttake that long to brute-force it, it will... if the checker only goes through alphanumerics and not extended characters


And to ZEM: He managed to guess it (plus, I was logged in. It's kind of a tradeoff because I know his too )

That and I detest random passwords because they're hard to remember

...well du'h. You are on a ROM hacking forum so it's techincally a home for nerds. No matter what.

Besides, Hitchiker is a wonderful book. Even if you don't like Science fiction. Most people I know who is actually reading it isn't nerds.

Only one, maybe two here knew my password at some point.

I used to know Xkeep's, I think, but I've long forgot that one as well.

Alex, if this happens again, let one of us know. This might be more serious than you think.

And change your password.

The password was a bit silly, and I remember making a comment on it, but besides that, I'm coming up blank. Not like I want nor need the password anyway.
