  2. What Is The Moral of This Scene?

  3. Supplement Topics To Our Textbook • John the Ripper (Mac, Unix, PC) • Suggested passwords to use, but really up to the individual • Secured Your Mobile Devices? (e.g. iPads, cell phones, laptops, etc…) • Got Anti-Virus/Spyware? • Automating System Security and monitoring (e.g. scheduled preventive maintenance)

  4. John the Ripper(Mac, Unix, and Windows) • John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many flavors of Unix, Windows, DOS, BeOS, and OpenVMS. Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords, although Windows LM hashes and a number of other password hash types are supported as well. John the Ripper is free and Open Source software, distributed primarily in source code form. • http://www.openwall.com/john/
