Try not making enemies or....using a password thats harder to figure out.

Hmm.. perhaps you could use a longer password, an alphanumeric password composed of both letters and numbers, and one that does not contain any recognizable words. Pick something that nobody else would guess, like your pet's middle name.

Also, you could try finding out who logged on, and having them banned. I'm sure it's possible.

as a matter of fact that kind a pass is the hardest fo hack

you cannot use a dictionary attac so youre lest with hours and hours of brute force

in other words this is the best one

yes, brute force word lists are in different tastes and usally have 8 signs max. So make the password as long as possible so people wont be able to brute force attack your site. Then for the real hackers, there are programs that scan your site for holes in security (Altrough I dont know any names) they are used by hackers too so you can avoind getting hacked by using them.

[dundun2007]

yes i do agree with everyone on the harder password. Also make sure that you chmod all your folders are not on 777. Sometimes you edit your site and forget to change it back. Other then that i would just make sure you web protect the pages you dont want anyone to get to.

hmmm
i presume you got one thing wrong

brute force is brute force
and word atact is a dictionry attack

those are 2 completly diffrent approches to things

i have not heard bout "a brute force word list" ?

[Florisjuh]

Ever heard about the brute force password cracker Brutus? it cracks passwords by using a list of words and sentances. As "list of words" sounds silly I make it "Wordlist"
