[aprssig] OT: GRC RE: Password authentication

[Dave Baxter]

GRC also has an excelent netcast series "Security Now!" relating to PC
and Data security in general.   Well worth a review/listen.  Nearly 180
episodes now, all archived on that (and TWiT's) site.
 
Regards.
 
Dave G0WBX.

	GRC has a good page for "Ultra High Security" passwords also.
It is https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm.  Everytime the page refreshes
it displays a new set of three, 256 bit passwords.  They will never be
diplayed again (at least not in our/kids/grandkids lifetime).
	

	I like it Scott.
