Did anyone bother to ask Ken’s permission first before publishing his password on the public internet? Based on his reaction he clearly didn’t mind, but still!

- blub 7y agoIn my opinion this was a pretty crappy thing to do. Password could contain personal and potentially embarrassing information, even if that wasn't the case here.

- ben509 7y agoPike was piqued, too.
- emmelaich 7y agoHere's his message. Says he knew it already by sitting near Ken. https://inbox.vuxu.org/tuhs/CAKzdPgw0Vz8UFbK7c_Jr+RHGMssSxN=t8W36J0FMTPt5w+wkgA@mail.gmail.com/ https://inbox.vuxu.org/tuhs/CAKzdPgw0Vz8UFbK7c_Jr+RHGMssSxN=...
- zamadatix 7y agoThis was a crappy thing to do even though the reason it is crappy wasn't the case here?
- bakul 7y agoThe /etc/passwd file from which this password was unearthed has a date of Jan 5 1980 (from a 3BSD tar file). Presumably ken has updated his password since then.
- bonestamp2 7y agoOne would hope, but it still seems like common courtesy to give him a heads up.
- bakul 7y agoken replied to the thread about this on TUHS 4-5 days prior to the actual crack. But you are right. No one actually said "hey ken, better change your password if you haven't because I am going to crack the password you used in 1980".
