Title: NxtCoin Security: Brute Force. Post by: halinyo on January 07, 2014, 04:43:15 AM Dear All,
I think NxtCoin accounts are not so reliable. A few things to make it stronger. When pass-phrase makes the nxtcoin account very easy to use, it may also introduce some random attacks. I have seen so many posts around about their stolen funds. Things to do: 1) Make it long, lets say more than 50 character and use a combination of capital, lowercase, numeric, signs etc... 2) Do not create a pass-phrase that makes sense! e.g. "jesuschrist" or "christmas", etc... 3) Do not create a password with grid pass-code with standard styles on your keyboard, e.g., QWERTASDFZXCV (Follow your keyboard, you will understand what I mean, because hackers first will look into standard and easy styles from keyboard). 4) Do not create a pass-phrase with any other coin address, especially if the account is your own! Hackers may check the addresses from block chain with high amounts, and try the account number as a pass-phrase. May work! ;) 5) Only download nxtcoin software from nxtcoin's own website since there may be some malicious versions around. I have seen some incidents. Final thing is for the nxtcoin founder; Please create a limitation not to allow trying many other pass-phrases, this will stop hackers from brute forcing the accounts and stealing the funds. I know something similar has been mentioned before. However, I have included more interesting points for safely keeping the accounts! Please Donate if you like my post :) NxtCoin: 15901266248952213649 Title: Re: NxtCoin Security: Brute Force. Post by: bitcccddd1 on January 07, 2014, 04:55:38 AM Nice advice
