Weak password getting hack
Hi,
I am noticing some activities in my forum from a person. What I have seen is he is hacking those password which is set to weak and couldn't hack strong password. What I wanted to know, how come he is hacking the weak password if my site is not being hacked? how can I diagnose this thing? Also what is the strong password length? Kindly help thanks |
tell your uses to users this http://strongpasswordgenerator.com
|
What I would do is install this mod, which will require your members to use stronger passwords, Minimum Password Length
Then follow the instructions here, to force users to reset their passwords, Force Password Reset |
AdminCP>Users>Check Vulnerable Passwords
Will at least catch all accounts that may have same password as username. |

Make sure your userid is set to be able to run queries via the config file. Code:
// ****** USERS WITH QUERY RUNNING PERMISSIONS ****** |
