plain-text password
Asked by
Marcus Dowling
Hi,
First of all I want to thank you for your great work on the wicd network manager!
I have a concern that I wan't to share with you.
In the WICD config file passwords are stored in plain tekst. This is an issue.
As the IT world is on the eve of getting more and more users that make use of the Bring Your Own concept.
The storing of passwords plaintext is becoming an issue.
Please consider using an encryption algorithem like RIJNDAEL in the interface. This will prevent the leaking of passwords.
Thank you and keep up the good work.
