Re: How to waste bad people's time.+
Or just have one of these books filled with garbage, and keep your real passwords somewhere else. Should waste a few hours of thief/cybervillain/state actor time before they realise...
I used to carry around a MicroSD with all kinds of dodgy files on it (a folder called Project Reticle, a spreadsheet full of random 5-letter groups, an astrophysics PDF with certain letters in the article strategically highlighted, and so on) - just to waste the time of any agent that might stop and search me.
Until somebody reminded me that if they DID stop me, and found said MicroSD, there was a distinct probability that they would lock me up until I told them what it all meant. Which would likely be an extremely long time given that it was garbage.
So I left it taped to the side of a coffee cup in Starbucks. Still wonder from time to time what became of it and if it ever ended up being 'investigated'.
