I am a chump. I've SEEN passwords in plaintext and I even tried to remove it by figuring out how to remove it from git histories.
Heck, for one of those where it was not possible to get rid of plaintext due to the architecture, I even wrote some code to compare hashes instead of password so at least the attacker would need a rainbow table to crack it. Didn't bother salting it, since there's only one user effectively.
But meh.
Life of a chump, ain't getting no promotion and got the lowest possible bonus last year. It's better to be a chump cos I can feel better about myself
- LargeTomato 3y agoI cost my company over a million dollars because I was lazy and spiteful. I made an L+1 hop to a competitor and now I make more money for less hours and I'm learning a ton.
- orwin 3y agoThe best way is to change the password in the environments, and let it in the commit history. It's both the easiest and the correct way. And if you can't, your company have to change its architecture.
