One thing that always annoys me when I read a Troy Hunt blog post or when he tweets something is how stubborn and unable to admit that someone else said something clever or that he did something wrong. The comments of this blog post have some really really good suggestions how someone can much easier explain a hash that even children would understand: > A hash is like a fingerprint of your password. Your fingerprint tells me very little about you. You might be a man or a woman, tall or short, young or old. But if you show up, I can tell that you still have the same fingerprint. Likewise a hash doesn't tell me your password, but if my computer keeps guessing them, it can know when it is right. And my computer guesses really, really fast. Troy completely dismisses this because it's not 100% scientifically correct in the analogy. IMHO it's good enough for the layman to understand though which is the point of his blog post no? It strikes me that he's unable to admit that someone might have done something slightly better than him, or just give credit where credit due. Reminds me of so many other blog posts where this happened as well and his infamous claim that HTTPS is faster than HTTP and when people call him up on it he argued that HTTP2 is faster than HTTP1 and going in circles... Arrogance annoys me so much that I actually dislike reading his posts...
