Broadband DSL has opened a whole new world of creative opportunities for individuals and businesses alike. DSL has made ordinary internet browsing extraordinary. With astounding speeds and reliable connections, broadband DSL puts a new spin on sending and receiving e-mail, streaming audio and video, and all internet activities that are best preformed with a dependable speedy connection.

Broadband DSL allows users to receive telephone calls while surfing the net, so why not see the person at the other end of the line? DSL users with similar capabilities can go online and talk face to face in front of internet webcams. DSL users can virtually connect with other DSL users on the other side of the
world. Internet phone calls can link broadband DSL users for virtually pennies per minute, while leaving telephone lines open. Gone are the days of expensive phone calls and overpriced per minute charges to friends and loved ones. Broadband DSL has opened endless windows of communication for users all over
the world.

Businesses and employees benefit greatly from the technology of broadband DSL. Office networks can be accessed at lightening speed from home or anywhere that provides a broadband DSL connection. Video conferencing and virtual meetings lower and often eliminate travel costs and miscellaneous expenses by
implementing the power of technology. Broadband DSL often makes the impossible, possible.

Changes and technological advances in the world of broadband DSL are happening all the time. Even now, most individuals and businesses never come close to implementing all the capabilities and power that broadband DSL has made available to them. Dial-up modems are now antiquated and too slow for many individuals, let alone businesses where time is of the essence. Other types of
broadband technology once considered fast and reliable are also lagging behind DSL. Broadband DSL is the wave of the future, and the future is available now.

Maintaining a secure computer is a good defense against becoming a victim of Identity Theft. Use a secure password. By secure, I mean a password that is not easily guessable, such as a word you may find in the dictionary. These types of passwords can be found by someone using what is known as a “dictionary attack” This type of attack involves using the words that are found in the dictionary and comparing those to a hash that has been generated by the Operating System. If the attack matches the hashes, then the password has been compromised. Don’t use birthdays or Social Security Numbers as well. It has been recommended that your password be at least 8 characters long, including small and capital letters, numbers, and special characters.

A password like “alphabet” can easily be compromised. If you were to change it up a little by making every other letter a capital, “AlPhAbEt”, this will improve the security. You can then take it a step further and replace the “E” with the number “3″, so then your password looks like “AlPhAb3t”. Then take the “l” and change it to the number “1″ or even the “!”. So now the password looks like “A!PhAb3t”. It will take a super computer an extremely long time to break this password.

At this point the attacker would have to use a method known as “brute force”. That means the attacker is taking every possible combination of numbers and letters and special characters and creating a hash to try and match the hash stored by the computer.

To prevent yourself from being subjected to a “brute force” attack, you can set up a security policy that will disable the account after a certain number of unsuccessful attempts.

To further prevent yourself from being compromised since there are programs that can download the hashes stored in your computer, you may want to set some kind of time limit for your passwords. A good example would be that the password would have to be changed every 90 days, and the same password can’t be used within a 180 period. This will help ensure that if someone did get the hash of your password, that by the time it is compromised, it would be an obsolete password.

Try to check your logs to see if there have been any attempts on the password. This will certainly let you know if someone is looking at your computer in order to compromise the data that is stored on it.

By maintaining a secure password, you are ensuring that your private information will remain private.
