Yeah there's a group policy setting you can use to enforce users to use passwords which are mixed case with letters and numbers.

I don't think you'd even be working for NASA if you were thick enough to use such a feeble password.

Besides, they must certainly have biometric retinal scans and fingerprin readers in place these days? Or at the very least use those RSA keyfobs to be able to access the network.

Good point.... I doubt old style passwords are used inside NASA... external access you are prob talking HEX passwords or sumit more complex?

ie: FA12A2C3CD43C5..... with mixed case?

Probably. My uncle has to use an RSA SecurID keyfob to be able to connect to his company network from home, and the code to access it changes every 60 seconds.

I'm sure NASA have things like 50x more complex. Maybe even only designated IP addresses can access the network?

This whole thread is one big joke, the author is so vague I don't know what he wants and then some idiot thinks his uncle hacked nasa. But, don't we all have some family member who's done that.... :l

Well yeah, I've hacked NASA...

And once I was in, I clicked this button that said 'Shutdown all NASA satellites', and I clicked it, and the screen went black... :mrgreen:
