Those are a bit pointless IMO, especially for the price (£50-100?).
They have recently gone open source though, so somebody may think of a more useful application.

Any advice on securing networks/internet/etc just go to rz30. His knowledge in these areas is unprecedented

I make up nonsense words and a number or two for my passwords, so they are completely unguessable and non-susceptible to dictionary attacks.

Also I have all unnecessary ports closed on the router, WAN ping disabled and Windows Firewall active along with NOD32 for viruses.

One should view all sites as potential threats.

I'd quote you both threads, the older from the two being a bit of a slating, but I can't be bothered to find them.

Steganography for the win.

I protect my many selfs from the internet by having passwords consisting of unrelated works with numbers and case variations. For example:

bob5Paceship2001sn0wd0n*

Easy to remember and almost impossible to guess and extremely difficult to brute force attack.

Use variations with the site name in so bob5Paceship2001sn0wd0nOCUK* could be your password for this site.

No need for long winded encryption routines or keeping passwords stored some place (also not secure or cumbersome if encrypted)
