RE: Password Dictionary

Great link John. The NSFW passwords surprised me, it never occurred to
me that some people would use them. Maybe those people don't like
computers.

I had already tried Google but it really doesn't indicate what the
leading packages are. I don't want to vet all packages myself if
there's a few standouts I could start with.

Here's a start:

that a few are NSFW.

You also just Google for "password dictionary file" or similar.

Everything is possible on the i ;)

In this case, assuming the auditor is talking about having passwords
validated against a dictionary to prevent simple plain word

passwords....

The i offers an exit point for which you can register a program to
validate new passwords...

Either purchase or roll your own...

implementing a password dictionary. Is this even possible on a

system i?
