- Password Plus Warning - Reads the log file and warns you if
- there have been recent password violations.
-
- I use password plus, and I think it is an excellent program.
- However, I see one shortcoming: If someone tried to get into
- your system, and you type in the password as usall, there is no
- way for you to know about it unless you check the log file
- every time you boot up, which I don't do.
-
- So, I decided to write PWPLWARN, a little QuickBASIC 4.5 file
- that reads the log file, and if either the last or next-to-last
- log entry signals an invalid password attempt, it will sound an
- alarm. Why is the next-to-last entry checked also? Because if
- you run PWPLWARN after running Password plus, you'll never be
- warned! (Check the logic!). If you run PWPLWARN before you run
- Password Plus, you'll also get the warning.
-
- If there is no recent bad attempt, you'll barely notice PWPLWARN
- running. In case of no error, it outputs nothing.
-
- You can do whatever you want with the source and/or executable,
- I release it into the public domain. Use it, lose it, burn it,
- translate it, modify it, whatever you want to do feel free.
