Quick! Change your fingerprints and your face!
- olodus 7y agoYeah I constantly have to go around making a funny face nowadays. The trick to a safe new face is to take 4 random words (for example: horse, clown, sad, elf-ears) and create your new face by imitatating that 24/7. Or you use a face manager (or make-up artist as it is called in non sec circles) so you just have to remember one face.
- UI_at_80x24 7y agoThis is why I love the expression; (first heard, either here or on Slashdot) Fingerprints are your login, not your password. One thing I worry about is if/when the government(s) start using the same algorithms that industry is using to generate $HASH in all these biometric scanners. Some ugly version of the world where the local police department can search FBI+Apple+Google Fingerprint DB.
- notduncansmith 7y agoI believe you're referring to rainbow tables, which proper hashing handles by salting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_table https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_table
