I get that but permuting over typos, letter casing, lengths and combination of words would make the dataset huge. Is there a massively collaborated rainbow table database that is constantly growing? Are there other heuristics that come into

Any ideas on how they manage to crack these? I can't grok how they would achieve this via a dictionary attack, especially the likes of: MgihtyDutchmanMgihtyDutchmanMgihtyDutchman alapdanceissomuchbetterwhenthestripperiscrying

Came here to say just that. AdBlock relies heavily on SEO to grow it's install base. If you search "ad blocking" they rank highest, because of their name alone. This story will probably win them a huge boost and am hoping uBl

21 cents isn't the true cost but cool nonetheless. He's on the free tier available to new signups for up to a year. For that matter he could have run it on T2.micro and it would still have cost pennies. Still, a neat setup. (Edit:

Could be that most customers are on the free tier and he has multi AZ deployments plus other AWS services (data, queues, etc). Typically base costs are higher when you design for scale vs when you don't. And marginal costs are lower wh

You would not get redundancy or scale and you would need to do offsite backups yourself which is why it's not recommended over cloud DBs. Building stateless containers is good practice. There will always be exceptions but it's goo

The razors-as-a-service model was the big win here. Microsoft moved office to subscriptions. Apple now sells iPhone via a hardware subscription. Amazon has product subscriptions and on-demand buttons you stick on your washing machine that y

Second that. There's ELB + EC2 which can give you auto-scale but data persistence needs to be handled separately. There's AWS ECS which is/was quite unwieldy but I am hopeful for GAE's Flexible Environments (beta) built

Right, Signed Cookies. JWT doesn't make the claim that it's a new concept, you are assuming as much. It's a standard and as you correctly gleaned and like most other standards, comes with a lot of benefits, best practices, is

The impact can be mitigated by having low TTLs and using refresh tokens. This will give you a rolling window. If the TTL is 10 minutes and the client doesn't make any requests in 10 minutes, they will be timed out. But if the client co

JWT should not be looked at as a session replacement. For example, you cannot invalidate a JWT token before it's TTL. If you really wanted, you'd need to manage a blacklist of tokens on the server and compare every token against t
