Passnerd.com Competition – Already!

Thursday, November 17th, 2005

Steve Gibson, of Gibson Research (GRC) which brought us Sheilds Up and Spin Right, has created a password generator for WEP and WPA Keys. It’s tough to compete with a big name in security, but passnerd.com does offer passwords created on the user’s end for stronger randomization. GRC offers SSL to get around this, but in theory (but never by Steve Gibson) someone could look at the passwords the server was sending – but I’m sure Steve has one of the most secure servers on the net.

All that said, there is this site: grcsucks.com.

You still get a better password when you deal with the passnerd   .com.

Anglicans and Fruits

Thursday, November 17th, 2005

The broader Anglican church is upset over the recent appointment of a gay bishop in the US and the marring of gays by a minister in BC. Also the UK may soon join the gay marriage club and the church is exploring what that will do to their spousal benefits, etc.

In a letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury by almost half the world’s presiding archbishops suggested that the church “cut away dead branches that had failed to bear fruit”. A veiled reference to the BC and American dioceses.

Is it just me or are these the only two dioceses that are bearing fruits?
