The ICQ Password Securing Tutorial

<<< Back

A. Introduction:

----------------

Since the introduction of ICQ in 1997, its popularity grew very fast! ATM (2001-11-01), more than  137130215 people are using/have used ICQ. But since that many people have a UIN, they are fed up with  the fact that they have to remember such a long number (a 12-digit for example). Some other ones  undertook some action: they started stealing small UIN’s (like say a 6-digit) so that they would have a  short UIN which is easier to remember and sounds like “Wow, you’ve been there since the  beginning”.  Now here are some tips and advice on how to prevent that your UIN would be stolen.

 

NOTE: If you want to steal a UIN yourself, read my first tutorial, which is entitled: “How to Shag UIN’s”

 

B. Basic Securing:

------------------

1. Choose a password that isn’t obvious for others to find.

 

EXAMPLE: You live in a peaceful city called London. Well, some people do use the name of their city as  their password.

 

EXAMPLE: You like to eat doughnuts. A friend of yours know this. If your password would be ‘doughnut’  he would easily get it.

 

2. Use a combination of both numerical and alphabetical characters. But then don’t use the number ‘1’ or  the array of number ‘123’ or something like that.

 

3. Use capital letters in your password.

 

CONCLUSION: A good password would be ‘j0TkG4w’

 

C. Advanced Securing:

---------------------

1. Use hidden ASCII characters

NOTE: Read my first tutorial ‘How to Shag UIN’s’ to know how to do this

 

2. Use a multiline password. Yes, you can do this. There are some cracks available on the internet  (Download KaosICQCrack 1.2 at http://www.nzkaos.net)

 

NOTE: This doesn’t work for all ICQ Versions. The file posted above only works for ICQ 2000b 4.70 build  #3286 (which you can also download from that site.

 

D. Final Thoughts:

------------------

Combining both Basic and Advanced Securing will give you a good ICQ Password. Just make sure that  YOU don’t forget it.
