Careful, you are open to a $5 wrench attack
- maccard 5y agoThat's also true if you use a more secure hash.
- quickthrower2 5y agoWas said a bit in jest, but in seriousness - only if you publish the hash and dox yourself, or the attacker gets your hash from a DB, some identifier, and finds you. That was the joke - in this case the comment does this. (I have no idea if or how much doxxed I didn't check)
- TheDong 5y agoGiven I generated the hash with something like "head -c 1000 /dev/urandom | md5sum", I also don't really think a wrench attack would work here, even if you could find me. I don't know any input that produces that md5sum, no matter how many times you hit me with a wrench.
