My (occasional) co-blogger Richard has passed me some very cool links.

The first is a site that creates hashes of files in your browser. Browser #ash allows you to drag and drop files on to the page and returns their hash in MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256. Very cool!

The second is from Security Xploded and is a great reference of the location and encryption method of the passwords stored by many Windows applications such as browsers, IM clients and email clients. The safest way to manage these passwords - don't let the application remember them....
