you're a fool...don't you know Webmail got hacked like 2 years ago and they didn't even realize it until like 3-4 days after the hack attack?

I think they said some passwords could have been stolen.

after taking CSC405 with sammie carter, all of my important passwords are contain upper - and lower-case letters, numbers, and special characters, and are also around 16 characters long. in other words, unbreakable by brute force with today's computing technology.

rainbow tables sir

[Edited on June 23, 2006 at 3:24 AM. Reason : were you in my class?]

[Edited on June 23, 2006 at 3:25 AM. Reason : very crackable with brute force if you only used ascii since I don't think md5 supports utf8]

Don't get technical on me you! (Meh, rainbow tables require physical access or a computer not following LUA principles ... plentiful, but not the point.)

Official link ... first Google hit off of ncsu search of "unity password":

I reccomend getting a gmail account or something and updating it on the university website....unity pretty much sucks and if you take a semester off or something, they shut it off without warning or telling you, it is pretty much miserable

it's possible the person needed it to get into tracs to do just that

anyone who uses their SSN as password is a fool.
