Passwords rude word filter

[xoggoth]

Just made a payment from my business account and the password sent to my mobile ended in USUK. Some time ago I noticed a password sent to a customer who ordered a download on my small business site was much ruder.

Some of you must deal with security stuff, is there some sort of rude word filter for password generators?

One place I was at the root password was 'p155fl4p5', might struggle with that.......

VMS introduced a naughty words password filter in 1984. You could add your own words to it too.

I eventually found out what most of the standard ones were. A lot were simply boring stuff like passwords that were used in documentation.

It didn't understand l33tsp34k though.

I got VMS 8.4 running in several instances on this HP RX6600 I got in the shed. Paid £120 for it, pimped it up to 4 dual core Itaniums (I think!) and 96gb ram. Sucks 750w though which is about the same as MF's sun-bed...

Was it a VMS system perchance?

Ah, hadn't read the end of the thread,

Mr ms is in VMS support, and oft tells the tale of the customer with the p155f14p5 password.

Would be system not root then!

Hehe. I've been playing with Illumos and SmartOS of late. I really do like properly engineered systems

Itaniums are probably best kept in a shed. Too noisy for the house.

HP putting the patches behind a paywall discouraged me from trying 8.4.

This on VAX under SIMH:

UAF> copy system root/pass=p155f14p5 /nopwdexp
%UAF-I-COPMSG, user record copied
%UAF-W-SAMEUIC, new user record has the same UIC as the source record
UAF>  Exit
