        <description><![CDATA[Yeah, it's a little late to reply here, but I missed this one last year.  I use Bruce Schneier's Password Safe for Windows:  http://www.schneier.com/passsafe.html.  It's free, open source, easy to use, and designed by the world's premier security expert.  That's hard to beat.  The only thing I don't know is whether it's cross-platform.  The executable is pwsafe.exe, same as the pwsafe in Linux, but that could be coincidental.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I run a honeypot lab, and malware are my thing actually. I like fighting the problems. I'm sure you'd agree, I'd be bored using a Mac! HA!However, even I would like to go to SnowLeopard x64 with MythTV integrated to hopefully run cable DVR work, and hopefully run the DRM gauntlet successfully.I'd hate to think what a rig like that would cost with 8Gbs of RAM, but maybe ebay can result in a hardware gain.Wish me luck if you ever find the time to pass this way again.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I found it is very good.  The main reason I use it is because you can install the program and passwords onto a USB memory stick so you can carry it around with you. That way, you have no details, passwords etc on your PC at all. All I have on the PC is a shortcut to the file on the memory stick, which I lock away when not using it at home.It is fully encrypted anyway in case you lose it.Hope this helpsRegardsGerry]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[My JCitizen, first of all I do appologise for such a late reply, I have only just caught up with TR, been very busy.Yes, of course. Like anything, it's only time before something changes. This does apply to everthing though. Just that when you say that in relation to a Microsoft product, it's just not that much time is it?Hey, dont get me wrong, what they do is very good. They make a useable product, works on all hardware of sorts, it has the major market etc. Just make sure the underpinnings of a windows infrastructure (and the world over it usually is) is not Windows.Yes, Windows 7 on desktops in your organisation, but lets face it. The big guys buzzing in the server rooms keeping everyone safe is usually Solaris/Nix etc.I digress, yes, write your password down, lock it in your draw, use a credible proven tried tested password manager. All better practice than trying to make something up thats hard to guess and inserting 1's for I's yawn.Thanks JCitizen, again sorry for late reply.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Yes!  I am very happy with a freeware utility for Firefox and Internet Explorer called &quot;LastPass.&quot; It does an excellent job for all things password related, ie: auto-login, encrypted passwords, password generator, yubikey support, fill form profiles, secure notes, etc..  and best of all, none of my passwords are stored on their server, so I don't have to worry about their website being compromised and having to change all of my passwords.  There is an premium version but it is geared towards businesses and has no effect on the single user, like it isn't crippleware.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I am not in favour of working in a closed environment, i.e. firewalled company network, and also having to change my password every 2 months, not being able to use the same password again for 12 months and then having to remember increasingly complex passwords without writing them down.What is the point of making a company network so secure and then expecting users to dream up new passwords every 2 months.I am a system administrator. I have a complex password that I have never changed on my UNIX systems. Security on those systems has never been breached. The powers that be dream up rules but don't subject themselves to the same environment, perhaps only having to log on to a single system. We all know that managers only need email, right! Goodness knows how they would go supporting a dozen or so different systems and juggling a set of unique complex passwords in their heads.Password keeping software is fine for some. But the reality is that it is useless for you if you are unale to log onto your computer to access the software to tell you your passwords or you have to store it on some portable media thta represents a greater risk if lost in the public domain.]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-317705-3173068]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[spy-ware has the capability to monitor &quot;hooks&quot; in the hardware layer at the input/output level. In XP, Snoopfree Privacy Shield can detect and block these to ANY process running on the PC. Basically an I/O firewall.However this does not help on PCs not under you control. Most good encryption software, intercepts the data before it can reach any keyboard hooks.However video hooks can take snapshots of SSL sessions to discover user IDs and secret questions, multi-factor authentication, etc.Authors at Windows Secrets claim this capability is taxing to the CPU and makes the system unstable, which supposedly puts the malware author at a disadvantage. But this does not hold water in my lab tests. I have had many unwelcome video spywares on my honeypot lab system units that exhibited no instability or any behavior odd at all, other than Snoopfree popping alerts that they were trying to read my screen.Some screen reading behavior is normal for some applications, but they are poorly written in my opinion. No one needs to be reading your screen in an SSL session; that is just not kosher!Anytime this information can be intercepted before reaching the hard-drive is good as well, as some spyware only has to do a quick scan of the hard drive to look for sensitive information. This is done quite rapidy, and with no outward detectable behavior.The anti-keylogger/spyware methods on that Windows Secrets article was quite eye opening but notice the author was not definitive about 100% defeat of every type of method and madness out there.It is a very discouraging situation, and reading their article and user reviews at CNET, is paramount, to see which utilities can win the war against this despicable criminal activity]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It is my understanding that it monitors the Windows clipboard and watches for all applications. Not sure how it does it but it has deteced Itunes, Excel, Word, and Foxfire that I have approved and have not seen any other heinous apps.  I keep a pretty clean system so I don't think I have any nosy apps.In addition, it also clears the clipboard after a designated amount of time.Passwords are also encrypted.You can check Password Depot out at Acebit.com...both German and English are supported.I also saw the an article on Windows Secrets about Keyloggers...I wrote to them about PD but haven't heard back yet.Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean about video hooks.]]></description>
