Maybe someone could write a password program that posts all passwords
to the net when they are changed, for a (hopefully automatic) inclusion 
into a global crack dictionary. That way we could save all these annoying
requests for additional dictionaries, and passwords would get safer all 
the time automatically.

Hopefully this is a joke... Ignoring the fact that this would cause
major Bandwidth problems and newsgroup space problems... The 
database/dictionary would very quickly become to large for 
anyone with less then a few Gig's. to handle.  Also if someone
does have a good Spanish Dictionary, or Latin for that matter
I would really appreciate a copy. :)\\\\>

Two requests, so to hell with the bandwidth 8-)

Take a look around black.ox.ac.uk (129.67.1.165) in the
/wordlists/spanish directory.

I have something like 1.3 megawords on line in the /wordlists
directory tree in dozens of files.  /README and /wordlists/README
might help you find your way around.

BTW, we run tcp logging.  If you are filtering out RFC931 packets,
your connection will fail silently.

I'm on the lookout for new languages.  Latin and Welsh are notable
omissions from my collection.

Duh...

"Broadcast from stupid.com - new password for crack: flurdleblurdle"

Thousands of hackers converge on stupid.com and find the user with
this password in seconds.

Not the year's brightest suggestion.  Or was it a joke and
I'm too tired to laugh?

I'm suprised someone hasn't pointed out the obvious flaw in this: there is
no check for a "good" or "bad" password. Now the output from Crack, that 
would be another story. This scheme would publish (and therefore invalidate)
perfectly good password choices.
	A good suggestion that I heard at the LISA massive migrations workshop: 
run your dictionaries through the Crack rules, saving the generated output,
sort and unique it (and I assume truncate it to 8 characters to save space), 
then use that (and a binary search algorithm) as the dictionary search for 
npasswd or passwd+. You would probably want a central password checking
server, or to be able to NFS mount a single copy of the dictionary in order
to make space reasonablei (but even if not, disk is cheap!).
	The final dictionary size this person was running was around 100megs 
of words, not all that much space for a more secure system. I certainly
intend to take this suggestion (since Crack will find passwords that even my 
somewhat more paranoid version of npasswd will allow ...). 
	Gene: if you would like to take credit for this or offer code, please 
feel free ...
