How to secure your mail?

[частный детектив Кременчуг]

Here is an article https://forum.detective-agency.info/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=2461 how to break mail.ru brood. Download the brood, change the credentials in the brood to yours (that is, the incoming server, port, mail address) in the word txt file, enter your password and run the program. The program works on the principle of selecting passwords to the mail address, account on the site, FTP server. It is taken by many antiviruses as a virus. This is the most preemptive method of checking mail. Unfortunately, hacking methods are being improved more and more and every day hackers create new and new programs.

Sasha Thank you !!
I'm telling you - teapot Even here I do not manage to do everything
I get it. Thanks again! I will certainly take advantage.
But hackers think you are right - you (the bastards) will not have time to learn from them.
Yours faithfully

Hello colleagues!!!

On December 28, 2010, someone opened my mailbox at mail.ru ( detectivekv@mail.ru ) and changed all the passwords !!!! I want to warn all colleagues that if someone from now on may have received any suggestions and something like that - THIS IS NOT ME !!!!

My current main box is detectivekv@gmail.com

Consulted with a friend who knows the computer perfectly, he writes programs and creates websites. I consulted on the account of the brigade, that's what I got in response:
with this method - brute force, a password of 2-3 letters and 2-3 digits will be sorted out for a week ... if there is at least one service mark - a space or something else - a month or more ... then a couple of such break-ins and IP from the computer will be blocked and transferred to where it should =) In general, the method is as old as the world and belongs to the most well-known and primitive ones, a normal pro breaks everything completely different and much faster ... Yes, mail.ru and Yandex are some of the most vulnerable services with a bunch of holes.
I personally believe him, because I have applied more than once and the help was very real.

Thank!

Good afternoon.

There is no absolutely safe mail. In my opinion, one of the best options is your own mail server. however, without proper configuration, this may be the most unsafe option. In any case, external mail services (mail.ru, yandex.ru, gmail.com, etc.) cannot be considered safe.

I did not urge to break mailboxes with brood, but to check mine (at the risk of a certain attack). It takes a maximum of 5 minutes. Since you enter your password in the WORD.TXT file. Example: I checked my mailbox. Brood went over 1400 passwords in 15 minutes. But of course, this program is outdated, although new versions and sublime services are being written. Currently, many companies working in the field of IT security are engaged in the so-called verification. That is, they put protection against network threats and try to hack themselves.

Good afternoon.

Today, Penetration testing or Penetration Testing is becoming increasingly popular. When a company hires the so-called Ethical Hackers to hack its network or account in order to verify protection. Hackers carry out a hack and provide a report with recommendations for improving protection. There are two main types of testing "black box" and "White box". In the "Black" (closest to the combat), the hacker is informed only of the name of the company and he does everything himself. In the "White" hacker is informed of all the source data and he immediately begins to break the defense. By the way, such tests are prescribed in many international standards. Especially in the banking sector. For example, the PCI DSS standard requires such testing. However, hiring a hacker to test a mailbox on Mail.ru is not practical. It’s easier to set a more complex password. Better yet, use these services only for specific tasks, rather than conducting business correspondence.

Hello, Aleksandr!

Sorry Kettle, what is check it with brood and what does it eat?
Yours faithfully

Hello dear representative of the Detective Agency "X-Info. Kryvyi Rih"!
I will try to answer your question with pleasure)
True, I’m not sure that I understood correctly what this is about!
Nonetheless.
In computer science and cryptography there is a well-known and widespread method of cracking passwords. It may be a mailbox password, but a wide variety of passwords are cracked.
The method is called Brute Force, which means brute force. But experienced computer scientists, hackers, and other such public call it simply "brutus."
This method got its name for its primitiveness and reliability.
Its essence is as follows. Suppose that we know what characters the search password consists of (maybe these are uppercase or lowercase letters of the Cyrillic or Latin letters, maybe these are also numbers). Suppose also that we know approximately how many symbols the password will consist of (from so many to so many). We enter all the necessary data to the brute force program and it begins to sort through all possible combinations of symphols. The method’s problems are that cracking the password for the same mailbox is required via the Internet, but if we have a stable connection, a sufficient Internet connection speed, enough time, and we don’t have the most cryptic password (not “cryptographic” “Uafg56kloA”) and, say, “5477”, or even more so, if we crack the password not “remotely” through the Internet, but crack the password located on the same computer that we are sitting at, then we have certain, and in the latter case, very good chance of success.

Here. But, this is if I correctly understood what was at stake! If not, I apologize to you and other respected participants in the discussion!)

Heck! Oh, I, a computer man, a hacker! I didn’t look at the second page! They have already explained everything to you! But nonetheless!
Whether you or anyone else come in handy!

And also, dear discussion participants! I have a question for you: there is such a thing that is well known to everyone as PGP encryption. If I'm not mistaken, then we are talking about using the notorious public and private keys!
So, I entered into the search engines queries, like, "how to encrypt e-mail messages" and I was asked to download different programs for encryption. In particular, free. But all the programs that I have met so far require a user to have a mail client, like the same OutLook Express!

But when using Outluk, the following problem arises: you have to enter all the passwords from the mailboxes that this user owns into the program. This means that if there is a certain attacker who has local access to the computer, then there is a risk that these passwords will be cracked like ordinary passwords behind the stars are cracked!

I did not use other mail clients, but I think that the difficulties with them are the same.

So: are there any programs for encryption or any other things for encryption (sorry for the village language) so that you can encrypt messages (I mean email messages) without resorting to the services of email clients?

In addition, I heard that the notorious PGP encryption is easy to crack.
The same can be said (I met in some sources, I don’t remember where exactly) and about the encryption provided by G-Mail.

So, which encryption is better to use, which encryption method is more reliable than the previous two?
Is it possible to use really strong encryption without resorting to the help of email clients?
Or (if we exclude the problem of local access) then at least with the client, but REALLY reliable?

Sorry for the verbosity!

And one more thing: it is very important to me. For me, only the option of using free software or any other tools is acceptable, but again, free!

Thanks in advance! And do not judge me harshly! I am not a professional in information security issues)
