INTRODUCTION Get a bonus download At least four times a year, we license a special bonus download for our paying subscribers. This issue's bonus is:
Mark Burnett, a former contributing editor of Windows Secrets, was able to obtain and analyze more than 4 million user passwords. This gives him great insight into just how weak most passwords are — and how to make them easy to remember, yet hard for hackers to break. Mark says administrators shouldn't make users try to memorize short, "strong" passwords, such as 8Zp0YrA7. Instead, long passwords of 15 characters or more are actually stronger yet easier to remember if they consist of three words (misspelled, ideally) that rhyme or use humor. A good example would be My.Mord-Fustang. Longer passwords are harder to crack. The good news is that the techniques in Perfect Passwords make strong passwords easy to invent and remember. Mark's intimate knowledge of the tools hackers use to break into people's accounts — and the speed at which those tools are improving — has transformed my thinking on passwords. I'm not the only one. A promotional blurb written by Kevin Mitnick, who was once jailed for hacking, says, "Please DO NOT read this book; I still wanna get your passwords!" The e-book is a printable PDF file that's 578 KB in size. Your download time will range from a few seconds on a cable modem to approximately 2 minutes on a 56 Kbps dial-up modem. To upgrade your subscription and get the e-book, use the following link: How to upgrade If you wish to obtain the bound version, the book has a list price of $29.99 USD and can be ordered via the following links: United States / Canada / Elsewhere. (Note: In the "Elsewhere" link, the book's cover is incorrectly titled Password Roulette. Don't worry, it's the same book.) We hope you'll enjoy our exclusive excerpt of Perfect Passwords. We look forward to bringing you even more secrets, and even more bonus content, in the year to come. —Brian Livingston, Editor |

TOP STORY Get a disposable e-mail address By Brian Livingston Every time you give out your e-mail address, you take a risk that your address will get on spammers' lists and you'll be bombarded with junk mail. As a test (which I'll describe in my Datamation column in a few weeks), I entered an e-mail address into a signup box at one of those "get a free laptop" promotional sites. In less than six weeks, the address I provided was hit with more than 1,000 junk messages — over 23 per day — and they show no sign of slowing down. I was willing to risk my Inbox being overrun in this way because I used a "disposable" e-mail address. This is an address with a different keyword that you add for each Web site or personal correspondent. Such addresses make it easy for you to filter incoming mail into different folders, if desired. To prevent "dictionary attacks," any mail sent to you without a valid keyword can be rejected. And, if an address you gave out is abused by spammers, as my test address was, you simply make all mail to that address bounce (as I eventually did to the promo site). Disposable addresses let you register for free services on the Web without fear. At the same time, you get strong protection against spammers. Protecting yourself against spammers and harvesters My recently revised e-book, Spam-Proof Your E-Mail Address (see below), describes easy ways to encode any address you place on a Web site. This prevents your addresses from being collected by "harvester" programs. Harvesters are software bots that scour the Internet, copying e-mail addresses and adding them to spam databases. Studies show that harvesting is the most common way spammers build up their multi-million-name lists. Keeping harvesters from getting your address is important, but you also need to protect any addresses you enter into forms at Web sites. In the e-book's 2nd edition, I mentioned SpamGourmet.com, one of dozens of services offering disposable addresses. SpamGourmet allows you to insert an integer number up to 20 when inventing a new address. For example, I might register at Amazon using an address like the following: amazon.20.secretspro@spamgourmet.com In that case, SpamGourmet would accept no more than 20 messages from Amazon before deactivating the address. This number allows you to receive confirmation notices and the like, but your alias would automatically shut down if Amazon started sending you a lot of junk. If desired, you can configure certain addresses so SpamGourmet doesn't stop at 20 messages but will forward to you an unlimited number from contacts you trust. SpamGourmet is free but has drawbacks. Administering each address is an extra step. Also, there's no way to log in to SpamGourmet to see your messages. You must provide a separate, valid address — one that you maintain at some other domain — in order to receive the messages forwarded to you from SpamGourmet. After researching the market, I've decided that Yahoo.com's AddressGuard is currently the best value in disposable addresses. The service isn't free, requiring $19.99 per year. But this reasonable fee also gives you all the features of Yahoo Mail Plus. This premium account provides 2GB of storage, strong antispam filtering, no graphical ads in your Inbox, and the elimination of the promotional lines of text Yahoo tacks onto the end of its outgoing free messages. Before I explain Yahoo's disposable-address technique, let's first look at an approach that doesn't work — Google's free Gmail.com service. Gmail's disposable addresses are the worst Gmail provides a form of free disposable addresses, but it turns out to be fairly worthless. You first obtain an ordinary Gmail address, like so: brilivings6789@gmail.com You then build disposable addresses at Gmail by adding a plus sign (+) and a word that represents the contact you've given that address to. If you register an e-mail address at Amazon.com, for example, what you enter might look like this: brilivings6789+amazon@gmail.com Unfortunately, many Web apps reject or mishandle e-mail addresses that contain a plus sign. The plus sign is legal on the left side of e-mail addresses, according to Internet standards. But it's an illegal character in Web addresses (URLs). Due to the confusion, many major Web sites mistakenly strip the symbol out before accepting an e-mail address. Other sites just choke, displaying nothing but an error message with an e-mail address containing a plus sign is entered. Such well-established sites as Cingular, Bank of America, and eBay mishandle e-mail addresses containing plus signs, according to an experiment by blogger Wayne Burkett. (Note to Windows Secrets Newsletter subscribers: You may reliably use a plus sign anywhere to the left of the at sign in your delivery address. All of our signup forms on the Web accept such addresses. Also, we encode the plus sign to make it a valid character whenever the address must appear in a URL, such as in our change-your-address links.) Adding insult to injury, if a Gmail address that contains a plus sign is ever harvested, it's very easy for spammers' computers to leave out the plus sign and the characters leading up to the at sign. This automatically lets them add your true Gmail address to their spam databases. Yahoo makes custom addresses easy In contrast to Gmail's flawed design, my vote for the best provider of disposable e-mail addresses is Yahoo AddressGuard. This feature allows you to create up to 500 alias addresses, which is plenty. (I've created fewer than 300 aliases in over five years, and I'm super-active at signing up for lists.) When someone responds using one of your alias addresses, Yahoo delivers the message to your Inbox or to a personal folder of your choice. Here's how it works. 1. Realname. You start out with a Yahoo ID, which you give out to no one. For example: brian.livingston.6789@yahoo.com You then create disposable addresses using a different basename. This is followed by a hyphen and a different keyword for each contact you give your address to. The resulting addresses look as follows: basename-keyword@yahoo.com 2. Basename. You choose a basename that's different from your Yahoo ID. You give out the same basename in all of your disposable addresses but a unique keyword for each contact. For example, my basename might be secretspro. 3. Keyword. The keyword you make up for each disposable address reminds you which contact you gave it out to. You'll probably insert the brand name of any Web site that requires a valid e-mail address. If I want to register with Amazon.com, for instance, I could choose amazon as the keyword. The disposable e-mail address I'd give Amazon, therefore, would be: secretspro-amazon@yahoo.com Spammers who gain access to one of your disposable Yahoo addresses can't simply truncate the hyphen and the keyword and get your valid address. If spammers did send e-mail to a truncated address, such as secretspro@yahoo.com the messages would just bounce, since that isn't a valid Yahoo address. Yahoo makes it easy. You can create new addresses as you need them, using either the Mail Options page or the Yahoo Toolbar. Create free disposable addresses on your server If you maintain a domain name of your own, you may be able to create your own free disposable addresses, which would be the most convenient of all. Say your domain name is example.com. You could create your own realname, basename, and keyword system, just as Yahoo does. Your e-mail addresses might look like this: brian.livingston.6789@example.com would be your realname, which you'd never give out; secretspro@example.com would be your basename (mail sent to this address would bounce); and secretspro-amazon@example.com is the style of disposable addresses you'd give to your contacts. When you receive mail that was sent to a disposable address, and you reply, your system must insert the disposable address into the outbound message's From and Reply-To fields. The best disposable e-mail services correctly format such replies automatically. If you don't run a mail server of your own, or all of the above sounds too complex, Yahoo is a low-cost alternative that's easy to set up and manage. Although you can't automatically forward mail from your Yahoo aliases to another e-mail address of your own, you can retrieve messages from Yahoo using any POP3-enabled mail client. You can also, of course, log in to Yahoo from anywhere in the world to check for messages. In addition, Yahoo.com is a well-established domain name these days. It would arguably be more respectable-sounding when telling people your address than trying to explain a niche domain name like SpamGourmet.com. Some Windows Secrets readers are already using the trick I describe above. As of yesterday, 12,000 or approximately 8% of the delivery addresses in our subscriber database end in @yahoo.com. Of those addresses, 143 include a hyphen somewhere to the left of the at sign. About 1 in 5 of the hyphenated addresses, in turn, use a familiar-sounding keyword such as -brian or -winsecrets. These readers obviously made up a special address just for us — which is exactly what disposable addresses are for.

You'll receive a gift certificate for a book, CD, or DVD of your choice if you send us a comment that we print.

ELECTRONIC BOOKSHELF Spam-Proof Your E-Mail Address, 2nd Ed. 
By Brian LivingstonI've inserted my new recommendation of Yahoo's disposable addresses (see above) into a minor update of Spam-Proof Your E-Mail Address, 2nd Ed. I don't believe in making purchasers of my books buy them again just to get a small amount of new information. Therefore, all of the updated material is shown above for your reading pleasure. If you've never purchased a copy of the e-book for yourself, however, you should give it a look. The 32-page, printable PDF gives you step-by-step instructions that can eliminate 97% of the spam that would otherwise clog your e-mail account. After months of experiments, we found that spam-proofed addresses actually receive little or no spam. These tests show that you can reduce your volume of spam to practically nothing, not just battle an unstoppable and ever-growing flood. The methods we describe work with Windows, Apple, and Linux and don't require any filters or block lists — but you can use those in addition to the book's techniques, if you wish. More info FEEDBACK FROM OUR LAST ISSUE Rebooting before and after patches is good I wrote last issue that some Windows patches pop up a dialog box every 10 minutes reminding you to reboot. Your PC can reboot if you inadvertently press a single key. This can cause you to lose your work, so I described ways to delay the reminders. I emphasized, on the one hand, that it's important to reboot after patching, because Microsoft techs say patches can leave Windows in an "unstable state" until it's rebooted. But, I added, "No one's given me any verifiable examples of this." I only make blanket statements like that, of course, to flush out exceptions I haven't heard of. Sure enough, a perfect example was sent to me by Susan Bradley, who writes the Patch Watch column in the paid version of the newsletter. (How to upgrade.) Susan explains how Small Business Server 2003 was recently hosed by Windows Server Update Services, which knocked out Microsoft's own Remote Web Workplace and Outlook Web Access. In addition, Redmond's Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA) had a problem with Microsoft hotfix 915045 (which at this time can be obtained only by special request and is not publicly available):

WINDOWS GIZMOS Images get wide and Bluetooth gets small 
The latest developments in computer wizardry bring you (a) one of the widest
monitors ever, (b) a new high-definition digital camera, and (c) a Bluetooth music
system that allows you to play your music collection on any speakers you like without
unsightly wires.These capabilities may not come cheap, but if you want the best, you might find that investments like these are worth a bit of a premium. 
30" Dell is new Editors' Choice LCDPC Magazine has just named Dell's giant new widescreen monitor as a better bet than Apple's much-vaunted 30" Cinema HD Display. The editors say the Dell UltraSharp Widescreen 3007WFP, among other things, has a faster response time (11 ms grey to grey) than Apple's own trophy display. At 2560 x 1600 resolution, both monitors require dual-link DVI boards, such as those driven by nVidia's 7800 or ATI's X1800. But the Dell beats Apple on street price: $2,300 compared to about $2,500.

Besides taking widescreen, 16-by-9 still images with its 5x optical zoom lens, the $450 shooter's HDMI port allows it to output directly to HD TVs and other digital video devices. It can also record VGA-resolution videos at 30 fps, take three auto-bracketed photos consecutively, and perform image-to-text conversion of text you snap. Samsung Digimax L85 
Remote audio uses Bluetooth, not Wi-FiThere are plenty of products out now that employ 802.11b or g to send tunes from one room to another. But now Logitech has delivered a simpler system for under $150. You just plug the transmitter (leftmost device in photo) into any Windows 2000 or XP USB port, attach the small receiver (at right) to any stereo system or headphones, and start your MP3s using the included remote control. Bluetooth reliably pushes the signal 100 feet or more — not as far as Wi-Fi but without the setup hassles and DRM restrictions.

THE SECURITY BASELINE The Security Baseline as it stands By Brian Livingston Based on the latest published tests, the best four products to give your PC comprehensive protection against hackers are (1) a Linksys hardware firewall, (2) ZoneAlarm Security Suite 6 (or Panda Platinum Internet Security 2005, which recently received a high rating in PC World tests), (3) Webroot Spy Sweeper for antispyware protection, and (4) an update-management tool of your choice. See details below. 
1. Hardware firewall. For small-office Wi-Fi networking, the most affordable secure firewall is the Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G router (photo 1, about $60 USD street), which also offers four ports for wired Ethernet. If you wish to install third-party Linux firmware, get the WRT54GL ($70). To cover more than a few adjacent rooms, consider the Linksys WRT54GX ($160), which doubles the usual "g" range. Be sure to enable WPA or WPA2, either of which provide strong Wi-Fi security. The WRT54G and WRT54GX are PC Magazine Editors' Choice winners. 2. Security suite. ZoneAlarm Security Suite 6 (photo 2, $60 street) is rated as the best all-in-one software firewall, antivirus program, and antispam filter — now with antispyware scanning and Windows OS kernel protection. It's received Editors' Choice awards from both PC Magazine and CNET. With the ZA Security Suite, there's no longer any reason to purchase separate antivirus, antispam, and software-firewall applications. (Turn off ZA's real-time spyware protection so this can be handled by your antispyware program, shown below.) Note: One magazine, PC World, recently rated Panda Platinum Internet Security 2005 higher than ZA Security Suite. 3. Antispyware program. For individual PC users, the most effective remover of spyware is Webroot Spy Sweeper 4.5 (photo 3, under $35 per year), according to comparative tests published by PC Magazine. The previous version, 4.0, was also top-rated in tests by PC World. (Note: PC Mag has also given an Editors' Choice to Encore PC Tools Spyware Doctor 3.2.) For businesses that are looking for a centrally managed solution for 10 or more seats, Webroot's Spy Sweeper Enterprise ($240 per year for 10 users) has won the latest comparative review by Windows IT Pro and was rated a Best Buy by SC Magazine. 4. Update management. Individual users should opt into the new, free Microsoft Update, an improvement over Windows Update. You should also turn on the auto-download features of any installed apps you may have. For small to medium networks, Microsoft provides the free WSUS (Windows Server Update Services), which automates the downloading of critical patches for Windows, Office, and Exchange. For larger businesses, GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner (photo 4, $375 for 25 users) is a broader product, top-rated by WindowSecurity.com and MCSE World. The latter site also publishes a helpful tutorial on LANguard NSS and Shavlik's HFNetChkPro ($900 for 25 users). —————— For non-U.S. sources of information on a product reviewed above, enter the model name into a search box at one of the following links: Canada / U.K. / Elsewhere The Security Baseline section appears in every issue.
