- masonicb00m 9y agoGood point.
- kitotik 9y agoFrom the project summary: “You can use this hash to link requests from the same source, without identifying your users by IP address” So perhaps it is/will be possible to take actions against bad IPs.
- tscs37 9y agoWith more difficulty. I can hardly use hashes to blacklist IP ranges in my firewall, even if it could, the performance would suck due to the necessary hashing.
- masonicb00m 9y agoNo. Not using this module. The hashes are based on an ephemeral salt so there is no way to reconstruct the hash using only the IP address.
