I created an abstract wallpaper a few years ago with 50 or so 13 character words printed on it somewhere. Then I substituted certain special characters…

Ok, for example pick some words from here, http://clubefl.gr/games/wordox/13.html

then replace certain characters with special characters or numbers… ex. a=4 or a=@, b=8 or b=&, e=3, t=7 or t=+, i=1

Then a word like accessibility becomes @cc3ssibili7y and agriculturist becomes @gricul+uris+

You can even use this exercise to build vocabulary and maybe even do some etymological mental workouts.

Color me guilty. Maybe even worse than guilty. I have firefox save my passwords. (I am lazy) So all you have to do is find them with in the program. And I have a book laying right here with them all written down (I like things handy).. Hope you were not talkin bout me? My New Years resolution will be to follow your suggestions. Thanks for the good information.

Tell ‘ya Dan…if this stuff keeps up (and we all know that as long there is ONE hacker…it will), we’d be better off trying to get an ENIGMA machine (maybe on eBay?)…!

But you do offer up some fine “ideas”…

Thanks.
