d 1st 1 is ok.
am not com4table wit d odas.

try the others below,

The number one way hackers get into protected systems isn't through a fancy technical exploit. It's by guessing the password.

Not surprised Dbanj Twitter account got hacked easily, when he used *****.

That's not too hard when the most common password used on business systems is "Password1."

There's a technical reason for Password1's popularity: It's got an upper-case letter, a number and nine characters. That satisfies the complexity rules for many systems, including the default settings for Microsoft's widely used Active Directory identity management software.

Easily guessable or entirely blank passwords were the most common vulnerability.


Exploiting weak or guessable passwords was the top method attackers used to gain access last year. It played a role in 29% of the security breaches Verizon's response team investigated.

Verizon's scariest finding was that attackers are often inside victims' networks for months or years before they're discovered. Less than 20% of the intrusions Verizon studied were discovered within days, let alone hours.

Even scarier: Few companies discovered the breach on their own. More than two-thirds learned they'd been attacked only after an external party, such as a law-enforcement agency, notified them. Trustwave's findings were almost identical: Only 16% of the cases it investigated last year were internally detected.

So if your password is something guessable, what's the best way to make it more secure? Make it longer.

Adding complexity to your password -- swapping "password" for "p@S$w0rd" -- protects against so-called "dictionary" attacks, which automatically check against a list of standard words.

But attackers are increasingly using brute-force tools that simply cycle through all possible character combinations. Length is the only effective guard against those. A seven-character password has 70 trillion possible combinations; an eight-character password takes that to more than 6 quadrillion.

So ensure you have @ least 7 characters with a combination of Alphabets, numbers and signs i.e @m@OluwakOnikuni2012 (this was a friend password which when translated means son of God will not die 2012)

This made me Laughing out Loud

was a day to rem. as its one i wish nvr took place.

I got my admission list late, so by d time i got to school, registration of courses had started. I was with my course when i rushed into a lecturers office without knocking. Right in front of me was mojo in reality, lecturer and a 3rd yr female student. Instead of immediately excusing myself, i was just shocked still staring @ what i saw, till d lecturer shouted at me. Bad part was i carried over d guys course (phy), i had to beg in my yr 2 to pass d course.

otooro:
not exactly, they allowed facebook, they just warned that we use it outside work hours.  

I am an IT guy like you, even with a strong domain policy i can surf what i want.
My company was once resp. for researching on HIDP, NIDP (Intrusion). It was in the process of the research we found out abt bypassing firewalls. Even with ordinary mozilla, some plugins will allow you surf sites disallowed and they will appear as mozilla homepage. There r lots of ways to bypass policy esp. using Win Servers.
The best firewall on internet surfing is when you use an ISP that solely filters their network through  third party i.e using OpenDNS, then you can apply some internal rules.

But still, believe me there is no pencil without a eraser

For me , people who talk at the top of their voice, My colleague who hits her keyboard like she is using a typewriter.
This silly guy that touches everything he sees.

had been a spiteful remark thrown away during a squabble between two friends. But within moments, it changed Rebecca’s life in a way she never dreamed.

Rebecca’s close friend and aunt, who was the same age as her, had called her a “rapist’s kid” in a silly teenage spat. Naturally Rebecca wanted to know why.

She went home and told her mother, expecting her to shrug it off as a cruel jibe between squabbling kids.

Instead, Rebecca’s mother sank to the floor in tears, and told her it was true.

Tatian:
Am 26 female, not done with studies though but in my finals and a part time student at such. I don't enjoy staying wit my parents any more, we live cat n dog most of the time But my mum would not let me . Least I forget , am the only child . How do I get out? I really like the way things are going.

you just ranting about leaving your parents without stating the reason. Weigh your options and make d choice. Could it b as a result of moving in with a guy, independence, exposure etc. weigh the +tive n -tive b4 making the conclusion.
i dont see anytin wrong with still livin with your parents, except there is more to it.

Take away: If you aren’t careful about protecting your reputation, you may find yourself doing damage control for the rest of your career.
Each of us has a reputation that follows us from place to place. That reputation may be good or it may be bad. I hope yours is good and I’m assuming that you want to keep it that way. After all, a bad reputation may affect you more than a good one. Perhaps you’re on the hunt for a new job. That bad reputation may make it much harder to find your next gig. In today’s hyper-connected world, even the smallest public misstep can spell the end of a once-great reputation. Fortunately, you generally control your own destiny in this regard. Here are some things you should definitely NOT do if you want to retain your positive image.
1: Don’t choose your battles
Like it or not, in the workplace there is always conflict. Some battles were meant to be fought and some weren’t. I’ve seen people shy away from facing any workplace challenges and I’ve seen people rise up to battle anything and everything that comes their way. Neither extreme is good for your career. It’s important to understand which battles are worth waging and which ones aren’t. If you fail in choosing your battles, don’t be surprised if your reputation takes a hit. Too timid and you’ll be seen as a pushover; too aggressive and you’ll be seen as a troublemaker.
2: Misuse social media
You already know this, but it bears repeating: Social media follows you forever. If you’re not careful, what you say can and probably will be used against you at some point. If you get on Facebook and complain about what a jerk your boss is, don’t be surprised if people reading such comments lose their confidence in your ability to use sound judgment on the job.
Unfortunately, social networking lends itself to serious oversharing, especially on Facebook, although Twitter is a close second in some ways. I love Twitter, but I cringe at some of the comments I see. Frankly, I’m surprised that more people aren’t fired for their comments. I even stay (mostly) away from politics and religion on Twitter.
3: Commit a crime
If you commit a crime that is serious enough, you can kiss your reputation goodbye. At the very least, you will have to work really hard to reestablish your credibility. But depending on the crime, you could find your career seriously derailed, with people’s trust eroded.
4: Be proven to be a hypocrite
Never criticize, if you know you do it. Better still do not condemn peoples doings.
5: Lie
Lies will catch up with you. A lie might be small or it might be something big, such as lying to cover up a mistake. If you’ve blown it, own it and move on. If you lie, people will remember, and your reputation will probably not recover, at least at your current employer.
6: Listen little, talk much
No one likes a know-it-all. Regardless of your position, listening to those around you is a key skill to hone. As you listen — and I mean really listen, not just look like you’re listening — people will notice. Their confidence in you will increase, as will your reputation. If you talk too much, people will tune you out, particularly if what you’re saying doesn’t help them.
I’ve seen this in action: I’ve watched a guy talk until he was blue in the face. He knew facts but didn’t understand how to put them into context. He rarely listened to other people and it showed when he opened his mouth. The result: He got a reputation as a know-it-all who couldn’t understand others’ points of view.
7: Fail to take responsibility
Believe it or not, I’ve made some mistakes in my career. Nothing is worse than having to fess up to someone that I’ve blown it. But it would be worse if I tried to cover it up. If I’ve truly blown it, I will be the first to stand up and accept responsibility and clean it up. Of course, if I haven’t blown it and someone is just looking for a scapegoat, I’ll fight until I drop dead. But I believe in accepting responsibility when it’s necessary and I believe that your reputation is linked to the willingness to do so in appropriate circumstances.
8: Change your stance… all the time
If your opinion changes depending on who is in the room, you’re probably not all that trustworthy. This is something else I’ve seen in action, and I continue to be amazed when people eat it up! Do you have one opinion when executives are in the room and an opposite opinion when they’re not there? If so, you’re not being transparent; people do see it and they will believe that you’re a suck-up. That’s not a good reputation.
Now, you may frame your opinion differently depending on who is in the room. But that’s just tailoring your message to your audience, which is fine as long as the substance is still there.
9: Get drunk
This one is easy: It’s a judgment issue. Think it’s okay to get drunk at a company-sponsored event? If so, your judgment is in serious error. If you do get drunk like this, it’s going to damage your reputation and you will be the talk of the office, especially if you end up doing something truly stupid.
10: Be constantly difficult to work with
Are you a jerk at the office just because you’re allowed to get away with it? This is another behavior I’ve seen: An aggressive, power hungry, small-minded person is not reined in when necessary and continues to harass people, raise objections just for fun, and badger people rather than work with them. These people take pride in tearing other people down in an effort to build themselves up. Having a reputation for being difficult to work with is extremely hard to shake. Even if you begin to realize that you might be this person, your attempts at change will be viewed with suspicion as those around you wonder what you’re after. So at least make an attempt to treat your coworkers with respect, listen to their opinions, and act like a member of the work team.

This story isnt mine but for  a worried soul

I married my wife eight years ago and we are blessed with two children. We have enjoyed peace in our home and never had any serious problems apart from one or two challenges which aren’t too much for our marriage to cope with.

I love my wife so much and I believe she loves me too; though we did not date before we got married.

Now there is one thing she does regularly which irritates me, she is fond of keeping male friends to the extent that she is still in touch with her old boyfriends. She takes their calls any day and any time. If I ask for the identity of the person she is talking to, she would say a friend she recently met on her way to either the market or any place.

She would add that the person knows she is married but doesn’t mind being her friend.

What has pushed me to seek your help is what happened recently. We were in bed around 10:30 p.m. as husband and wife trying to make love when she received a call.

After about 10minutes on the phone, she told me that it was her old boyfriend who called.

At that point, I didn’t say or attempt to do anything again with her. I simply turned my back on her and slept off. Though she has tried to explain to me that there is nothing going on between her and these men, I have advised her many times to stop keeping them but all fell on deaf ears. I am a kind of person that hates to talk too much and my decision now is to divorce her so she can have time to try those her so-called ‘just friends’.

fellow Niaralander pls help Him

There is noting wrong in a lady having lots of male friends, probably she flows easily with males.
but what i think is she does nt know when to draw the line, that is where respect [/b]comes in.
what is to b shared with another male friends that can not b shared wth your spouse [b](thats d communication link).
I am not saying u shld b suspicious, she may mean no harm. Talk to her and try to share your opinion on the problem. Ask if you can likewise contribute to what she talks to others abt ( cos this is a relationship, no longer abt u but us).

@ OP you chose for your son and it failed, then listen to what he wants.
He wants to go to open university and duration is long. No problem, you need to let him understand that you have no problem with what he wants, but he needs to support himself truout when he starts the open university since he misused the opportunity given to him once. You can assist him to gain entrance into  NOUN and pay 1st session but from from then he is on his own.
There are jobs out there for School cert. holders, you can advice him to get some skills to add to his resume, to get a good pay to support himself.

Not sure where to post this , since i guess most lawyers are into properties.
Pls does anyone know of any notary lawyer in Port-Harcourt.
Thank you

1. cook: i do my shopping and cooking myself
2. assist financially : My job pays well and i got my own biz
3. hav kids : i hav an adopted kid
4. share emotions with: i am surrounded by lovely brothers, sisters and friends.

But if there is a good reason to marry, i wont tink twice but 4 now the bowl is empty.

i hav nothing against parent trying to pick a partner for their child , but the final decision is yours to make.
Their choice maybe right, it all depends on wat they hope to achieve for you.

she got married early last year to her[b] 1 nd only luv[/b] (dt hw she puts it). By feb. she became pregnant, 4 months later due to the stress of d pregnancy her husband adviced that she should stay wth her mum, since this was her first. She obeyed as a lovin wife, early oct. she lost d pregnancy due to complications. She decided to go home to rest, but she noticed dt her neighbours were avoiding her. two weeks ago she found out that her husband was bringing girls into their home while she was wth her mum. she confronted him and decided to trace his movement, she found another bitter truth( his got another kid outside).

She truly loves dis guy die, she is confused . she presently wth me wat do i advice her to do?

CAN ANYONE HELP OUT HERE?

This is possible but other hos connecting from the router tru your system will suffer bps issue. only you will enjoy it, y nt jst get the new router-sim available, it has the ability to connect your modem to the router and distributes wirelessly. If u really need it, holla @ rhamzus@yahoo.com

buzugee:
please all help will be appreciated. there is a program on one computer that i will like to have on another computer but i dont have the cd rom. is this possible ?

we had issue almost like this in my company. some applications were only compatible with xp and we needed to upgrade to win 7. so we use a software to clone the whole xp to an iso image. when we we finished upgrading we use VMWare to boot the xp onto win 7.

Do nt bother going tru dis long process, if d software is purchasable @ ikeja or follow wat femi4 said

shutdown your sys, remove the cd rom. then put it on back. let it boot fully.
then shut it down again and insert the cd rom, then u on it.

see if these worked . if not do a add hardware

[size=14pt]Please, someone inserted my hardisk in his laptop to copy some files and somehow, his antivirus (NORTON) performed an action on my drive and corrupted it.
All the folders are showing but when I click on it, it shows empty but the drive still reads and shows the used space.
I have a lot of important folders in it and i actually fell sick because of this mishap. I've searched online for file recoveries but its way more than what I can afford.
Can anybody he me hear pleasseee!!![/size]

The antivirus has converted your files to system files. You need to enable your system to show system files. If you r using xp: open an explorer, goto tools - folder options - view - scroll down and locate item for folders and option then click on show hidden file and uncheck the next two items below it.
If vista or win 7: open explore- click on organise and folder - look 4 folder option - view - scroll down and locate item for folders and option then click on show hidden file and uncheck the next three items below it

wide lips, white teeth, soft hands most esp. knows how to combine outfits.

salary reduced from 80k to 65k & u complain "some grad. earn less"
do u know how many Nigerian companies agree to pay fat salaries bt will owe salaries for upto 3 months.
Banks agree fat salaries but your target met = % of your salary to get.
Every company has the right to determine how to reduce cost? So many companies outside naija r downsizing, so airtel is no different.

If we r complaining abt wat they hav done, then d govt shld find a soln to power.
Thou mass sack, i do nt support.

@OP tanx 4 yur letter .

mr.official:
Guy, you're just being a typical Nigerian. Someone feels your pain and wants to help, all you could say is he's showing Bigz boyz. How many other people here have offered to help with the money. You sounded as if the guy knew you before. Abeg, go wash your rude mouth commot, get manners and come back to say at least thanks and not the bullocks you wrote up there.

I am a Nigerian and proud of it. The money is not problem, this is a forum to raise issues, where pple can giv advice to those who may b in the same prob. as me. By the way i wasnt insulting manny4life, bt if he tink i was "PELE" .

Nayah:
Normally this question shouldn't have to be asked, a man who is in love will do things without any suggestions, but these things should'nt be in one way, we women should be able to do the same, our brothers like surprises and being pampered too, as long as some will think this is the "male role " to "give", men would disrespect or blame us , and they would be right

Rightly said nayaf  
We need to differentiate btw dis two
: cos i need to sometin from her, giv her d BB , THEN SHE OPENS UP or
: i luv and care 4 her, let me surprise wth this gift " even if she is working" but of course caring for her compliments yur gift

manny4life:
On this one, it's a shared responsibility. I'm not trying to side with banks; however, customers don't have any special protection and are held liable just as much as the bank and in this case, individuals have responsibility to make certain that they fill out the forms etc. Meanwhile, bank tellers are to cross check names and acct # to verify deposit. Quite unfortunate, there is no legal recourse to this, and if even if there was (in this case, small claims court which Nigeria DOESN'T HAVE), for 12k? Brother, if you're in dire need of the money, u have a PayPal acct, I can send $70 to you.

Chairman if i needed yur money, i wuld hav asked politely. Tryin to show yurself dat u b BIGZ BOY, PLS Save it . The problem is where the bank portrays its completely my fault, that's d annoyance?

Went to d bank dis morning, all they can say is dt they hav done a negative amt on d guys acct, so once he pays in i will b refunded. Wat if d guy decides nt to operate d acct again?

its really strange how honesty is difficult to find, how can you just withdraw money that u do nt know how it gt into your acct. Am sure d guy wuld b claiming na baba GOD don do am.

I payed 12k into wrong account with a digit wrong but the name was right, now the account officer says its my fault. How is dis to be, cos i guess its the duty of the bank to ensure that the name matches the acct number. If i can get the name right and jst a wrong acct no, culdnt i nt b contacted on d error or wat is d pt of putting yur phone number on d deposit slip?
The funny thing is the wrong acct holder don play smart, d guy withdrew all d cash. Pls does anybody know d legal action i can tak on d bank or proper authority to talk to.

The bank has a orange square.
