bookmarklet: This is pretty brilliant. Boo
kmarklets are the neatest things.
I wrote a bookmarklet to make up passwords for me. It asks for my
master password, which is all I have to remember, and uses it to make
a unique password for each site. It even types the password into any
password fields on the current page for me, whether I'm registering
for a new account or logging in on a subsequent visit. [...]
How does it work? It gets the hostname from the page's URL and
mixes it together with your personal master password using a little
cryptographic magic we call MD5. It will always get the same result if
given that hostname and master password, but will never get that
result if either changes. (Well, once in a few billion times it
might.)
Just don't lose sleep at night worrying about MD5 cracks.

The bookmarklet solution to the password
problem
The bookmarklet solution to the password
problem
09/06/2004 02:38 PMAnyone who makes heavy use of the internet has run in to
the password problem: dozens of user accounts on sites with varying
degrees of trustability, leading to an unmanageable proliferation of
username and password combinations. The temptation is to use the same
combination on multiple sites, but doing so opens you up to the
horrifying prospect of a security flaw in one site compromising al of
your other accounts.
I was burnt by this a few years ago: a small community
forum on which I was a member was cracked, and my account was then
used to log in to another larger forum to which I had administrator
acccess. Thankfully no permanent damage was done, but it taught me a
valuable lesson in password security. Since then I've maintained a
number of different combinations each with a different level of
associated trust: if my account on Joe's random forum is cracked it
won't lead to the compromise of my Amazon account!
Even different tiers of passwords aren't ideal though, and
that's why Nic Wolff's Password generator
bookmarklet (via 43 Folders) has
me so excited. Nic's bookmarklet pops up a JavaScript prompt box
asking for your "master" password, then MD5s it against the domain of
the current login page and inserts the resulting hash in to any
password fields on the page. A single password can be used for dozens
of sites without any risk of a compromise of one account affecting the
others. It's brilliant.
There are a couple of minor flaws in the bookmarklet: the
master password prompt is in plain text rather than masking your input
with asterisks, and the bookmarklet could leave you high and dry if a
site changes the domain on which their login form resides without you
noticing. The first could be solved by extending the bookmarklet to
append a "master password" field to the page using the DOM, while a solution to the
second would require some kind of server-side store of the domains at
which the initial accounts were created.
Quibbles aside, it's an ingenious solution to a pervasive
problem.

Among the offered methods are Diceware methods with the
original Diceware wordlist and S/Key wordlist. The program
outputs the calculated entropy along with the password.
Changes:
This release includes major security improvements
(such as memory locking and zeroing), major code
cleanups, a manual page, and a simple installation

algorithms developed by Elcomsoft's research department. AOPR is
capable of instantly recovering passwords for a wide range of
Microsoft's business and office applications, including all components
of MS Office, from the very first DOS versions to Office 2003
programs, including the ones for Windows, Mac, Pocket PC and localized
versions. Over 30 different types of password encryption methods are

And as always, Jon

"I could have switched LibraryLookup over to this technique, but
never did because it only works with Amazon. I've always liked the
idea that LibraryLookup can also work with isbn.nu and All Consuming and other book
sites. (It'd be cool if they all emulated Amazon's metadata pattern,
but they don't.) Still, in the context of this excellent new WorldCat
hack, I thought the non-ISBN-dependent solution might be useful. So
here it is:

Most excellent - nice work, everyone! Another ringing endorsement
for open, web services-based back-ends for library catalogs.

Development Bookmarklets: Thanks for Si
mon Willison for pointing us at this amazing page of
bookmarklets that let you play with the CSS and JavaScript of any
page.
These bookmarklets let you see how a web page is coded
without digging through the source, debug problems in web pages
quickly, and experiment with CSS or JS without editing the actual
page.
Some killer bookmarklets:
- Computed styles. As near as I can tell, this one lets you
click on an element and displays the styles applied to it both
directly and inherited from higher up the cascade.
- Generate source. Displays the entire DOM tree as formatted
text.
- View variables. Displays all JavaScript variables and functions
in scope on the page.
- Shell. Gives you a JavaScript shell in the current page
scope.
Great, great tools here. Incidentally, these are only the "Web
Development" bookmarklets. There are hundreds of
bookmarklets on the site. Some of them are jaw-droppingly good,
and worthy of their own post.
If you don't know how a bookmarklet works, just pick one you like,
then drag it to the bookmark bar on your browser. Find a page where
you want to use it, and click the bookmark.

I was thinking it would be really useful to just highlight some
text on a webpage and click a bookmarklet in your browser link
bar and have it do a feedster search. Matt Mower gets all the
credit for this idea. And, well of course, Bottom Feeder
who already has this working.
Anyway ... I just update to IE 6 which seems to have disabled
bookmarklets. I can drag it to the links bar andeven though I
say Yes its ok to add it, it seems to just disappear into the
void. Anyone know anything?
So I have most of the code for this but I can't test the pesky
thing. Arrggh!

the passphrase is only handled locally. Sweet.

Will Your Password Need A Password?
Will Your Password Need A Password?
06/01/2004 02:43 AMIf you hadn't realized it already, simple username/password combos are
a pretty weak form of security - yet they're pretty much all we have
for many important online systems that store our most vital
information. While there are other solutions out there, many
companies (especially in the US) have been
incredibly
slow in adopting "two-factor authentication" systems that require
a password plus something else - such as a onetime code generated by a
device you have to have with you (or built into your computer). The
idea, then, is that if your password is revealed, no one else has the
device, so it's useless. If they find the device, they don't have
your password, so it's useless. However, so far, many users don't
value this additional security very much - and the devices still
aren't all that cheap. Plus, many companies are worried that users
will react negatively to such systems as it may slow down the user
experience - causing them to look for other (albeit less secure)
alternatives. Then, of course, there's the worry that people will
start using such systems that aren't compatible with each other, so
you'll need separate devices for every account - which would be much
worse than before. Others, such as those in the fingerprint scanning
business think a biometric approach makes much more sense - but that
leads to all sorts of other questions and issues. Still, as there are
more and more cases of fraud and identity theft due to so much weak
security, it seems increasingly likely that companies will be forced
to adopt more secure methods.
