Comment Re:store hash instead of password (Score -1) 110

WordPress does only store password hashes, using the PHPass hashing library.

There are entire databases for sale that contain hash translations to passwords. Without salting the hash, you may as well store password in plain txt. OR you can use your own mhash algorithm like we've done with our www.infaCORE.com product that is unique to each user and is regenerated each time the password is changed. These vulnerabilities that allow hackers to gain access have been around for years and are very easy to block. It's also a good idea to lock users out after 3 failed attempts.

Virtual machines running on what? It sounds like the FBI was ever so careful.

Let's say I bust into your house and fireaxe all of your computers at 1 A.M.. What are the odds you'll be up and running by noon?

Give me a call. www.thornedigital.com. I'll set you up with redundant nameservers and multiple Dns entries so if the primary web or mail server is down, the secondary then tertiary and quaternary (etc) servers take over. 4+ nameservers assigned to your domain that exist on separate networks with multiple entries then make your sites as reliable as Google's.

As the owner of a data center, I welcome this type of actions by the FBI. we filter all customers before giving them access to any server and monitor them on a weekly basis for spam, viruses and phishing scams. I for one am tired of the phishing scams that come into my networks from GoDaddy, bluehost and an array of US based discount hosting providers. You would not believe the number of brute force and Ddos attacks our firewalls log and block in any given hour and at least 60% originate from US based hosting provider ip addresses that often have nothing more than an apache/tomcat default setup page. In short: it's about f#%$ing time!

Back when I worked for a local ISP in the mid 90's, I required my employees to learn to hand code HTML using notepad. I still require this for new hires now that I own my own company here in NYC. You can put every wysiwyg editor on your resume, but the job testing portion is still hand coding in notepad. In short, learn HTML and you won't need to rely on any specific editor.
