Bruce Schneier analyzes MySpace passwords
Schneier comments on MySpace passwords.
I sent Bruce Schneier a copy of the 2 GB collection of real passwords taken in a recent MySpace hack. I discussed my thoughts in a my InfoWorld column a few weeks ago.
Bruce did an entirely different analysis. It's an interesting read. You can read Bruce's summary analysis here. His conclusions support my ideas about overall weak passwords, although he says that passwords are getting better than they were in the past. It's worth the read, as is any Bruce Schneier article.
