@Dianora_1 It's the database I use at Phil Exp. SQL Server (Express). The password will be very hard to crack. -
@PhilosophyExp http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlsetupandupgrade/thread/e8660613-e7c8-49e6-aabb-23f4de03c903/ … They know it's MS so probing for open sa account. I could tell you stories but not on open twitter. -
@Dianora_1 Is the best bet to create a new user acct with the permissions of sa, and then to disable sa? Or can I rely on my password? -
@PhilosophyExp "Security through obscurity" see wiki entry. rate limiting is best. ask your admin

@FrueheNeuzeit@PhilosophyExp Dictionary cracking. sa user looks like a Microsoft default account on their db.
