Dictionary Attack<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To crack a password, the most popular method is the dictionary attack. It means the hacker has got a computerised dictionary and he will try all the combinations to crack the password. This method is very strong due to the number of users who are using a common word or common passwords like \u201c123456789\u201d or \u201cpassword\u201d. The letters can be modified to crack this type of password: \u201cP4ssw0rd\u201d.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">b. Brute-Force Attack<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Brute-Force attacks are lengthy methods. The goal is to test every single combination possible on a password. It\u2019s very effective against only-letters passwords. To represent this kind of attack, to brute-force crack a Windows computer protected by an 8-sized key it will take about 7 years maximum so we can imagine that he is doing this with a lot of computers, he will succeed in no time.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">c. Spoofing<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Spoofing is the very effective method. The only thing the hacker needs to get all your passwords is to be on the same network. When he succeeds to penetrate your network (with a Trojan horse for example) he takes the identity of his victim. And make believe to his victim that he is the router. So he can see all of the communications of his victim.<a href=\"http:\/\/afrikanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/strategie_password.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3128\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3128 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/afrikanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/strategie_password-300x174.jpg\" alt=\"strategie_password\" width=\"300\" height=\"174\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This method is very effective because it exists some software which can interpret those communications and get all of the passwords<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">II. WHAT ARE THE TIPS TO PROTECT OURSELVES?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To build a password we need to be careful of these following points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The password is strong enough<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s the first time you are using it<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The password is easily remembered<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0Keep it secret<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>a. What is a strong password?<\/h3>\n<p>A strong password contains at least these elements;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>10 Characters<\/li>\n<li>1 capital letter<\/li>\n<li>1 lower-case letter<\/li>\n<li>1 figure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>1 special character ,.;:\/?!()\\|<br \/>\nYou can check the strength of your password on this site:<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/howsecureismypassword.net\/<\/p>\n<h3>b. Build different passwords and remember them<\/h3>\n<p>To have an optimized security, must be different between one website and another. So you have to elaborate a strategy to remember every single password whatever the website.<br \/>\nI\u2019m building my passwords with this following method;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Choose a passphrase : My horse is grey , I live in the 59 and I\u2019m 175 tall<\/li>\n<li>Build the password base with the first letters : Mh1gIl1t59aIm175t<\/li>\n<li>Looking on which website I am : gmail<\/li>\n<li>Add \u201cgm\u201d at the beginning of my base and \u201cai\u201d at the end<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So my password will be: \u201cgmMh1gIl1t59aIm175tai\u201d and I will remember all of my passwords.<br \/>\nTo build a password and remember it, we can use a freeware named Keepass2. It\u2019s software which contains an encrypted database for your passwords. So you only have to remember one.<\/p>\n<h3>c. How can I keep my password secret?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/afrikanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/strategie_password1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3129\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3129 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/afrikanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/strategie_password1-300x175.jpg\" alt=\"strategie_password1\" width=\"300\" height=\"175\" \/><\/a>The first thing is your brain is the safest place to keep a password secret. Never write it or put in a digital document. This is why it\u2019s important to make it memorable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Secondly, it\u2019s very important to look at the URL before typing your password. You have to be sure that the website is encrypting the communications.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0HTTP:\/\/ IS NOT SAFE<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0HTTPS:\/\/ IS An SECURIZED CONNEXION<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the final part, it\u2019s important to never connect to an unsecured network (like Wi-Fi without a key). Some Wi-Fi is reachable by a webpage where you need to write a password or a private key. It\u2019s important to verify that it\u2019s written HTTPS in green in the URL.<br \/>\nprotect our passwords?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">for more information contact us on +44 1865408566 at Oxford, on +237 242621739 \/ +237 697533278 in Cameroun or by email <a href=\"mailto:contact@afrikanet.net\">contact@afrikanet.net<\/a> . <a href=\"mailto:\/cemac@afrikanet.net\">\/cemac@afrikanet.net<\/a> <a href=\"mailto:\/tfk@afrikanet.net\">\/tfk@afrikanet.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Article written by :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Victor Masson (<strong>Marketing Digital<\/strong>)<a href=\"http:\/\/afrikanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Vicavatar.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2622\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-3111 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/afrikanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Vicavatar.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"116\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a href=\"mailto:victor.masson@afrikanet.net\">victor.masson@afrikanet.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Skype:<\/strong> victor.masson_1<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Office:<\/strong> +44 1865408566<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to build and protect our passwords?
