comment POC of a Java exploit using leftover JREs
@Anorov: on the browsers I tested (Chrome, IE) there is just a warning about using the applet in the first place. This is not a deterrent for users determined to get hacked :) As for the payload -- I wanted to show a true exploit (working on systems with leftovers, not working on others)

comment POC of a Java exploit using leftover JREs
@Ramhound: the question would be: would someone have a ready solution, or anything (a comment, a pointer) which could help me to build mine? (I was wrong assuming this is obvious, per the downvote. It is true that I could have just posted this for the sake of expressing my dreams :))

comment Does password protecting an archived file actually encrypt it?
The Appendix of the document mentions that AES 128 is used by default for Office for 2007+ . I will be meeting some MS security teams by autumn so I will ask the question about legacy algorithms and update my answer.

Thanks - I will be looking into that as well and update this page if any luck (I have some years of dev lagging :))

comment nessus scan against metasploit exploits
As for the ability to run scans from metasplot, I mentioned I am aware of it but it does not help to reduce the number of tests (it basically allows to run & import scan results to be reused by Metsploit)

comment nessus scan against metasploit exploits
Thanks for the answer -- unfortunately what I am trying to do is to precisely fix the lack of persistent filtering in Metasploit you mentioned. Currently one needs to recreate the policy at each plugin update, which is not realistic in a distributed environment where the scans run automatically.

comment nessus scan against metasploit exploits
I am not sure I understand your comment. Current versions of Nessus are not that easy to script, but this is doable. My question was about the approach to match Metsploit and Nessus vulnerabilities. The 'unfathomable' part is about a critical option introduced to nessus but effectively hardly useable in an enterprise setup (where you have to run automated scans)

I do believe that - please have a look to my other comments with an estimation on paraphrases based on common scrabble words. There is always the possibility of someone choosing "passwordpasswordpassword" as their passphrase (to take an example of a commonly used password) but this is also a matter of education - they can also write down their passwords on their whiteboards if they get too complex. Finding the right balance (complexity, ease of cracking, user choice of passwords, technical complexity to implement the restrictions, ...) is what I am looking for.

About the password choice: "ilovemymum" would not meet the length restriction, "ilovemymumverymuch" would be fine and would be a good passphrase. I actually want people to choose easy to remember passphrases, thus the initial post.

Thanks for some interesting points. As for the DoS -- I am looking at avoiding a simplistic DoS on the login. A DDoS will in practical terms always be a threat and this is another story. The pr-IP login limit is something we will be putting in the design as well as the anti-CSRF measures (which are part of the OWASP adherence we design around).
