| Description: | One of the biggest hassles you can have with a pay site is if a cracker downloads your whole password list and cracks it. The cracker may then post all or most of your users' passwords on password sites. If you've found that more than about 1/3rd of your paid members have suddenly had their passwords compromised, your password file was probably already ripped. This can be fairly easy for an attacker to do if you let your users choose their own passwords, as they'll often choose easy passwords based on English words such as "password', "access", or "radio". The cracker will try each word in the dictionary and will break these types of passwords. If you think your password file has already been ripped, or would like to take some general steps to improve your server security, see our page about what to do if you're already been ripped. If not, stronger encryption can help ensure that your password file never gets ripped. |
