Pretty easily detected. This is a bad idea. Amateurs need to stop attempting their own patchwork solutions to their already bad fuck-ups.

- rb2k_ 14y agoIs the "easily detected" part really a problem? The idea isn't to try security by obscurity. The main advantage is that it would still keep people from using precomputed rainbow tables and slow down brute force attacks with a minimum of additional code, wouldn't it? (similar to the switch from DES to triple DES back in the day)
- heretohelp 14y agoRainbow tables are the least and most trivial of your problems to solve. Using a fast hash algorithm for storing passwords is fucking braindead and a DOA decision to make about security. Your "solution" doesn't solve anything.
