To start off, kkp-14365 is a moron. That reviewer is the only reason I created an account.
"The "info" in this show ranges from recycled gossip to outright incorrect." - I may not say that I agree with 100% of the show, but much of it is logically sound. This statement seems to imply that there is not much fact or reason in here.
"...there is very bad advice that can compromise yours security, to advice that could lead to legal trouble if you accept it." - There are a couple things that I would never attempt here, but Brian Brushwood makes warnings about them.
"There is nothing new here. The errors are glaring, and some are downright brain-dead errors." - Much of this will be new to many people out there. Sure, not to me, but there are plenty out there. Also, going back to my response above - Brian makes reasonable statement for most things in the show. This guy should "show his work" when making argument by stating specifics instead of generalizing the whole show.
"Using "This is my password" vs "k2j340@" is not stronger. The ignorance required to think the first is better, simply because of more characters, shows a complete misunderstanding of security." - Incorrect, all things being equal. The longer the password, the less possible it will be to attack by way of brute force or dictionary attacks. There is a reason that there has long since been a trend in sites requiring more complex and longer password. Other types of methods, like exploiting vulnerabilities in software, may be possible and no length or complexity will save you. The mere fact that using exploits is not the only way to bypass security (since brute force is an option) makes the lengthening of passwords a useful method.
"Errors such as this abound, and the fact that the creators of this "entertainment" pass themselves off as experts only makes matters worse." - I do agree that this is really focused on entertainment.
A lot of the "hacks" here employ some sort of social engineering methodology. That is what Brian Brushwood is good at. And social engineering works.
