KeePass is a free open source password manager, which helps you to manageyour passwords in a secure way. You can store all your passwords in onedatabase, which is locked with a master key. So you only have to remember onesingle master key to unlock the whole database. Database files are encryptedusing the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known(AES-256, ChaCha20 and Twofish).For more information, see the features page.
Security starts with you, the user. Keeping written lists of passwords on scraps of paper, or in a text document on your desktop is unsafe and is easily viewed by prying eyes (both cyber-based and human). Using the same password over and over again across a wide spectrum of systems and web sites creates the nightmare scenario where once someone has figured out one password, they have figured out all your passwords and now have access to every part of your life (system, e-mail, retail, financial, work).
Password Safe is a free and open-source password manager program originally written for Microsoft Windows but supporting wide area of operating systems with compatible clients available for Linux, FreeBSD, Android, IOS, BlackBerry and other operating systems as well.
After filling in the master password the user has access to all account data entered and saved previously. The data can be organized by categories, searched, and sorted based on references which are easy for the user to remember.[7]
There are various key combinations and mouse clicks to copy parts of the stored data (password, email, username etc.), or use the autofill feature (for filling forms).The program can be set to minimize automatically after a period of idle time and clears the clipboard. It is possible to compare and synchronize (merge) two different password databases. The program can be set up to generate automatic backups.
Changes to entries can be tracked, including a history of previous passwords, the creation time, modification time, last access time, and expiration time of each password stored. Text notes can be entered with the password details.
The software features a built-in password generator that generates random passwords. The user may also designate parameters for password generation (length, character set, etc.), creating a "Named Password Policy" by which different passwords can be created.
In a paper analysing various database formats of password storage programs for security vulnerabilities the researchers have found that the format used by Password Safe (version 3 format) was the most resistant to various cryptographic attacks.[11]
Another Backup Plugin (ABP) is a plugin for the KeePass password manager (Classic Edition). ABP automatically copies the initial password database to one or more backup files, so that the passwords can be recovered in case of loss.
Why use ABP? The problem of managing passwords is to keep them secret from others, while assuring that you yourself can always access them. KeePass by itself prevents others from accessing your passwords, but this is only half the solution. KeePass with ABP provides a more complete solution by assuring that you can restore the password database from an up-to-date copy, in case the original is lost, stolen, or destroyed. For more details, see the Frequently Asked Questions.
ABP Features: The typical ABP user has a single password database, which is opened automatically when KeePass starts up. The password database may be stored on a portable medium such as a USB flash drive, or on a PC's hard disk. ABP backs up the database when it's opened, if the backup copy is not already up to date, and it backs up the database when it's saved. The typical ABP user will not normally deal with other password databases, but if she does, backups for them will be disabled automatically, so that they cannot overwrite and destroy backups of her primary password database. ABP is designed so that a backup delay, such as when writing through a network, does not interfere with KeePass response time, nor with other backups. ABP development uses modern C++ design practices, with the goal of creating a bug-free, well documented, industrial-strength product.
BackupPC needs to know the smb share user name and password for a client machine that uses smb. The user name is specified in $ConfSmbShareUserName. There are four ways to tell BackupPC the smb share password:
As a configuration variable $ConfSmbSharePasswd in the per-PC configuration file (__CONFDIR__/pc/$host.pl or __TOPDIR__/pc/$host/config.pl in non-FHS versions of BackupPC). You will have to use this option if the smb share password is different for each host. If you put the password here you must make sure this file is not world (other) readable.
Placement and protection of the smb share password is a possible security risk, so please double-check the file and directory permissions. In a future version there might be support for encryption of this password, but a private key will still have to be stored in a protected place. Suggestions are welcome.
For linux/unix machines you should not backup "/proc". This directory contains a variety of files that look like regular files but they are special files that don't need to be backed up (eg: /proc/kcore is a regular file that contains physical memory). See $ConfBackupFilesExclude. It is safe to back up /dev since it contains mostly character-special and block-special files, which are correctly handed by BackupPC (eg: backing up /dev/hda5 just saves the block-special file information, not the contents of the disk).
Ssh allows BackupPC to run as a privileged user on the client (eg: root), since it needs sufficient permissions to read all the backup files. Ssh is setup so that BackupPC on the server (an otherwise low privileged user) can ssh as root on the client, without being prompted for a password. There are two common versions of ssh: v1 and v2. Here are some instructions for one way to setup ssh. (Check which version of SSH you have by typing "ssh" or "man ssh".)
You will also need "AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig" in the Apache httpd.conf file to enable the .htaccess file. Alternatively, everything can go in the Apache httpd.conf file inside a Location directive. The list of users and password file above can be extracted from the NIS passwd file.
Smbclient share password. This is passed to smbclient via its PASSWD environment variable. There are several ways you can tell BackupPC the smb share password. In each case you should be very careful about security. If you put the password here, make sure that this file is not readable by regular users! See the "Setting up config.pl" section in the documentation for more information.
Rsync daemon user name on client, for $ConfXferMethod = "rsyncd". The user name and password are stored on the client in whatever file the "secrets file" parameter in rsyncd.conf points to (eg: /etc/rsyncd.secrets).
Whether authentication is mandatory when connecting to the client's rsyncd. By default this is on, ensuring that BackupPC will refuse to connect to an rsyncd on the client that is not password protected. Turn off at your own risk.
Manage your passwords by using "Password Safe" ( ). Password Safe allows you to safely and easily create a secured and encrypted user name/password list. This allows users to store all passwords in a single "safe" (password database). With Password Safe all you have to do is create and remember a single "Master Password" of your choice in order to unlock and access your entire user id/password list.
KeePassX saves many different information e.g. user names, passwords, urls, attachments and comments in one single database. For a better management user-defined titles and icons can be specified for each single entry. Furthermore the entries are sorted in groups, which are customizable as well. The integrated search function allows to search in a single group or the complete database.
KeePassX offers a little utility for secure password generation. The password generator is very customizable, fast and easy to use. Especially someone who generates passwords frequently will appreciate this feature.
The complete database is always encrypted either with AES (alias Rijndael) or Twofish encryption algorithm using a 256 bit key. Therefore the saved information can be considered as quite safe. KeePassX uses a database format that is compatible with KeePass Password Safe. This makes the use of that application even more favourable.
Originally KeePassX was called KeePass/L for Linux since it was a port of Windows password manager Keepass Password Safe. After KeePass/L became a cross platform application the name was not appropriate anymore and therefore, on 22 March 2006 it has been changed.
KeePass is a free open source password manager, which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key file. So you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish).
In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Back in the days where IE was pretty much the only game in town, a download manager extension was must, if only to get a file before a glitch caused the connection to fail. Even then, you couldn't trust much, so if you wanted downloads, you used something like VMWare and did the downloads in a nice safe virtual machine that had the ability to roll back snapshots, because even with "good" download managers, there was a high chance that your IE's install would get a lot of adware bars installed, and one prog
