passwords

I am trying to make a password strength simulator which asks the user for a password and then gives back a score. I am using: islanum() isdigit() isupper() to try and see how good the inputted password is. Instead of returning boolean values, I want this to assess each characters of the password, and then the program to add up all the "True" values and turn it into a score. EXAMPLE CODE: def upper_case(): points = int(0) limit = 3 for each in pword: if each.isupper(): points = points + 1 return points else: return 0 Any help would be much appreciated!! THANKS!! .isalnum() , .isupper() ,

I have a lot of users (privilages) in mysql server 5.0 . I want to transfer all of them into new MySQL server 5.5 . But the passwords are in old format (in `mysql`.`user` table). So I want to convert all old passwords to new format. Is there any way to transfer and upgrading the MySQL passwords without changing them? Assuming you know the password you can set password = password('samepasswordasbefore'); after old_passwords has been set to off for the server or the session. set old_passwords = 'OFF'; or set [session] old_passwords = 'OFF'; The server does not care/know that it is the same

I have a script comprising of batch files that generate powershell scripts. I've taken it upon myself to accomplish the same task via VB Script. So far I've assigned most of the info I need to strings. But I would like to have a prompt for a password that is stored as a secure string and can be outputted to a text file for later use in further scripts. So far the only code I've found doesn't work I think perhaps because it was intended for VB rather than VBS. Any help greatly appreciated. The powershell code previously used was. echo Please enter admin credentials (This will be stored in a

Just wondering if someone could help me approach a clients request. Is there any modules for expression engine for password protected pages? I need to set up a form for the user to fill out and choose a password and username, this would then give them access to a separate section/page on the site? How could I approach this with EE? There are several ways to password-protect pages in an ExpressionEngine site: Template Preferences Manager Conditional Global Variables Third-Party Add-Ons By far the easiest solution is to use the built-in Template Preferences Manager in the ExpressionEngine

I try to find a good and clean way to deal with an admin panel "edit user" in cakePHP v.2.7. To be clear : I want to be able to edit my user with or without overwriting their password, but the cakePHP validator tool don't let me do what I want... I've already take a look at CakePHP: Edit Users without changing password and Updating user email and password with CakePHP but it seem really dirty : the first one don't apply the rules onUpdate the second display the hash (just no... u_u") There is no other way to do it ? (with as few line as possible) TL;DR : View // add in your view `app/View

I'm creating several php scripts. Must I always insert the host, username, password, etc. for every script for the same database and table? Is there a way to make reference with only one line or some other way? Is there anyway to hide this info? $host="XXXXXXXXX"; $username="XXXXX"; $password="XXXXX"; $db_name="XXXXXX"; $tbl_name="XXXXX"; mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password") or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB"); Michael Borgwardt While PHP files are executed and thus the source code is not visible from the web, an accidental

I am writing a Java application which can "encrypt" and consequently "decrypt" whatever binary file. I am just a beginner in the "cryptography" area so I would like to write a very simple application for the beginning. For reading the original file, I would probably use the java.io.FileInputStream class to get the "array of bytes" byte originalBytes[] of the file. Then I would probably use some very simple cipher, for example " shift up every byte by 1 " and then I would get the "encrypted" bytes byte encryptedBytes[] and let's say that I would also set a "password" for it, for example
