Just yesterday I generated a 64 char length mysql password, which had \ and ` and '.
I couldn't properly escape it, to pass via argv, so I had to truncate it and remove all those symbols.
So I thought, how can this problem be solved? IMHO by doing a hex representation 0x00-0xFF per char.
That would also increase entropy.
MySQL and other databases would need to support hex input of passwords, also setting of hex passwords via SQL.
- Izkata 2y agoMySQL at least should support that last bit (it has hex strings, and passwords are set with strings using SQL), but not the first as far as I know.
