Are monotonic/sequential ULIDs as easily enumerated as integers? It's the ease of enumerability that keeps a lot of folks away from using sequential integers as IDs
- sedatk 10mo agoYou mean someone who wants to attack your system might be discouraged by Base32 encoding?
- marifjeren 10mo agoSorry, I'm not familiar with the ULID spec. You seem to be, hence my asking. Are you saying monotonic/sequential ULIDs are just (or just as easily enumerated as) Base32-encoded integers? Oh and yeah, I guess I do think lots of script / AI kiddies would be discouraged by, or fail to see an opportunity when presented with, something that does not look like the numbers they saw in school.
