Here at Tactical Rifleman we have some great content on weapons and tactics. But today Jason Phalin, a former Navy SEAL and co-founder of Arion Risk LLC, is going to share a critical electronic security measure that the military uses to protect themselves electronically while at home and overseas. In this episode we take a look at password generation, a common weak spot in computer security. He takes us through an efficient method to generate a great password that is as easy to generate on a laptop as it is on a smart phone or tablet and can be easily taught to friends and family. Cyber security is a growing security concern for society and the need to protect ourselves digitally is equally important as our physical security. Happy Hunting!

Great but like the OTP all it takes is one slip and you are compromised
password cracking dictionaries include these patterns. It is not a secure password and gives a false sense of security.

Get your hands out your pockets!
This tip is so effective that i actually forgot my own password. Nice!
Amazing. I never thought of this. It's so complex but so simple. Ty gents.
And for years I thought I was being clever using nonsense sentences for passwords. This is even more straightforward than that. Good stuff.
How did I never see this video! This shit is awesomeness!
I just create my passwords in Welsh! Seems to work.

problem is this only creates 26 different passwords. better to make a very long password that tells a story like…… Iwanttodrivetomyfarmandeat5pizzaswithbeer
Great video, as usual the best ideas are the simplest.
I mean, it's better than having a sticky note with a password, but otherwise it's a terrible idea, vastly reduces the search space for passwords, especially if you have this as company policy.
Jason looks better with beard
Oh shit, that's a good idea
Use "God" they'll think you're the sysadmin.
As someone who is in cyber security, this is definitely a good idea.
Squids??lol. Best pool cleaners in world. Hahaha
Thumbs Up !
actually the best password is an encrypted password. if I were to tell you my password were something ridiculous like "1234" you would say that I was crazy!. but now run "1234" though an encryption generator and you get "pBSHNPGvZc7wzc#N" now as long as you use the same encryption method 1234 will always came out with the same result. second thing with security is to look over the the weak spots. for instance you can bypass a windows password with a simple usb stick and from there if you ever checked that remember me box on a website password they now can scan it from your cookies. bam! you lost everything!. another weak spot is the security of a website itself. if you don't trust the website then give it it's very own password cause they have a server that stores your passwords in a database and hackers have been known to find a back doors into the database and expose the passwords.

i cant ever think of a password but this rly helps (once again) thank u TR
My password is my first wife's last name, my second wife's first name and my third wife's middle name, that will keep them guessing!!
Qwerty keyboard pattern, do you think there is no software specify to break that? Especially your pattern just lead you to 7 set of start up. If anyone get one pc, your entire circle is revealed.
lol "Internet Ninjas" 🐱👤
I do something similar but I also change patterns too not just a V.
all my passwords are Password 🙂
That was the last thing I ever thought I would see on this channel…..But, I LIKE!!!

never knew my method on creating password was the SEAL way
Prevents a “MELL of a HESS”.
Using patterns makes it more convenient and easier to remember/communicate, but they also make the passwords a lot(!) weaker, especially if someone knows what kind of patterns you prefer.
And you can make kt more complex then that wow this is great
Now try this on a smartphone keyboard, where normally the numbers and special characters are missing.
that is terribly easy to crack. sorry… for ah not giving good advice on how to make a solid password and just criticizing.
These "keyboard pattern" passwords aren't as strong as they seem, and a lot of password tester website don't test for passwords generated using QWERTY keyboard patterns. It's more secure than using 12345 or your freaking name, but it's not "bomb proof" by any stretch. You'd be better off using an easy to remember but nonsensical "phrase" with included special characters.
"My_pu44y_e@ts_d0gs" is more secure than "zaq1@WSXcde3" even though the latter looks more unorthodox. The latter uses a pretty rudimentary pattern on a keyboard. Hell, the latter even has over 130 hits on a basic Google search. The former, zero.
thanks for the great info. Good variety as always.
I got that dayn bramige
This is the best thing I have seen all week, I usually sit there for 5 minutes trying to get one that works then write it down all over the place so I don't forget it. Thanks!
DUDE THATS SO COOL!!!
Using this method if the hacker knows the password is 16 characters this only results in 20 possible combinations, not that hard to add this small list into a system for brute force attacks. BTW that 20 combinations is including starting on both lower and upper case and using the keyboard from z to /.
Just use 1234 for everything. Easy.
This is not a good password generation method, all the easy to remember combinations are already present in the password cracking dictionaries, sadly there is no easy way to remember a strong password, a password that is easy to remember is also one that is easy to crack.
This is the best way to generate a good password and remember it:
Generate a random string of 14 characters or more, it should include lowercase and uppercase letters and also numbers (also special characters if those are allowed), like this (k8FIw60F5nM250X)
Now write the password in a piece of paper and make sure you save it in a secure place, type the password in the keyboard multiple times while reading it, do this enought times until you feel confident you can get it right without the piece of paper, type it multiple times, wait an hour or two, do it again, repeat this process as much as possible, now your muscle memory knows the password, you might not be able to remember it of the top of your head, but if you visualize a keyboard and let your hands type it you will get it right.
When you are sure you wont forget the password you can destroy the piece of paper, but keep in mind that if you dont use the password for a long time you will forget it.
The programs that check the strenght of a password that your friend mentions only take into account how long it would take for a computer to brute force it based on how many posible combinations there are, but there are other ways of cracking a password, for example if your password is qWeRtYuIoP122333444455555 a computer will need 511 septillion years to brute force it, but a human can do it manually in an hour, or in 1 second with the help of a password cracking dictionary.
Guys, there is MUCH safer method.
1. Know your favorite song line, rhyme, or your favorite daughter saying – make sure it is 8 – 10 words long. Something you really know well, like, but it is uncommon in todays world.
2. Take only first letters, numbers from that sentence / line, rhyme.
3. Add some numbers, for more important words use capitals.
4. abbreviate the password with added numbers or month name first / second / last / chosen letter.
Example:
1. sentence: My beloved daughter was born in 99 and her name is lisa.
2, 3. MbDwbi99ahiL
4. MbDwbi99ahiL-a19 ("-a" for second letter in march – current month, "19" for her current age)
Here you go. Easy.
And noone will deduct your password algorythm by just looking at your fingers 😉
Or brute force it by simply trying your pattern 😉
Outstanding 👍
