Crie senhas seguras


O MakeUseOf publicou um ótimo guia para criar senhas fortes e fáceis de serem lembradas. Como elas, as senhas, são a chave para acessar a maioria dos serviços web, dos mais simples e dispensáveis, até aqueles vitais para o trabalho, gastar um tempinho lendo tais dicas e aplicando-as ao leque de sites que pedem-nas é tido como um bom investimento.

Existem algumas regras básicas para a criação de uma senha, a saber:

  • A senha não pode constar no dicionário;
  • A senha precisa conter números e símbolos especiais;
  • A senha precisa misturar letras maiúsculas e minúsculas;
  • A senha precisa ter, no mínimo, 10 caraceteres;
  • A senha não pode ser “adivinhável” através de dados pessoais, como data de nascimento e endereço.

Seguindo esses cinco mandamentos, a probabilidade de ter uma senha descoberta é muito baixa. Mas mesmo com toda essa precaução, falta uma coisa primordial: como lembrar dela.

Existem algumas técnicas que ajudam na criação de senhas “lembráveis”:

  • Substituição de letras por números e/ou símbolos. Ex: brasil vira 8r@s!l;
  • Transformar a “password” numa “passphrase”, capturando a inicial de cada palavra. Ex: Atirei O Pau No Gato vira aopng;
  • Escrever uma palavra ao contrário. Ex: senha vira ahnes.

O problema é que, mesmo essas palavras não sendo encontradas no dicionário, elas seguem um padrão. Apesar disso, já garantem algum grau de segurança, mas o ideal, mesmo, é fazer uma combinação que lhe faça sentido. Algo como 8r@$a0png%Ahn3s.

Aproveite sua senha forte como base para as todas. Não a repita em todos os serviços, pois nesse cenário, se alguém mal intencionado descobre uma senha, compromete todos os serviços dos quais participa. O acréscimo de algo especial, relacionado a cada serviço, nalguma parte da senha, o livra desse problema. Exemplos:

  • E-mail: mail:8r@$a0png%Ahn3s
  • Twitter: twt:8r@$a0png%Ahn3s

E assim por diante. Mais uma dica para ajudar a lembrar, e de quebra aumentar ainda mais a segurança: não guarde sua senha no navegador, de modo que ela seja preenchida automaticamente. Isso deixa nosso cérebro “relaxado”, e com o tempo e a falta de uso, acabamos por esquecer da senha. Todos os grandes navegadores têm esse recurso atualmente, mas é bom evitá-lo.

Antes de sair por aí trocando todas as suas senhas, mais uma dica: faça um teste no The Password Meter, um sistema que analisa a senha criada e atribui um nível de segurança baseado em vários critérios. Seja exigente, e não se contente com menos de 100% Smiling .

Lentes de Contacto do Futuro


Os estudos que visam trazer uma visão electrónica ao comum dos mortais continuam. Já vos tinha falado destas lentes de contacto electrónicas, mas a tecnologia vai avançando e as possibilidades também.

Que tal ter uma visão de realidade aumentada numa lente com um display laser e alimentada sem fios via rádio-frequência?

Parece ficção científica, mas há umas décadas atrás o mesmo se dizia de um telemóvel sem fios que coubesse num bolso (já para não falar de tudo o que um smartphone faz hoje em dia.)

Sem dúvida que tecnologia deste tipo iria revolucionar o mundo. Já imaginaram o que seria a interacção com todo o equipamente sem necessidade de “ecrãs”?
Seria desnecessário termos monitores espalhados por todo o lado, não precisariamos “olhar para o telemóvel”, não precisávamos reservar uma parede para vermos cinema em casa… enfim… todo um novo mundo que faria com que os seus utilizadores se rissem “dos tempos em que se usavam monitores!” :)

Só espero é que não se esqueçam de ter um botão de desligar… que isto de continuar a ver imagens mesmo com os olhos fechados… acho que daria azo a umas visitas a um(a) psicanalista.
