In my experience, it is accurate. Google doesn't know "nicetry99", but it does know "octopus99", "octopus98", "octopus97", "hacker99", "hacker98", "hacker97" etc.

Perhaps I should have written it as "unsalted MD5" instead of "plain MD5" to avoid confusion. Unsalted MD5, in my opinion, is horrible. MD5 plays it's part in the mess: it's quick to calculate, which means that anybody can churn out huge lo

Sure. I guess there's not a whole lot of excuses to avoid bcrypt these days. Bozo's idea was to show that unsalted MD5 is, for most passwords, as bad as no encryption at all. An attack doesn't get much easier than a lookup table.

by aparadja 15y ago
Yep. I find it fascinating why plain unsalted md5 hashes are as common as they are. Developers go through the trouble of hashing, but don't go the single necessary step further.

For those who don't want to read the source code, BozoCrack has a simple algorithm. It googles the MD5 hash and hopes the first result page contains the plaintext password. It usually does.

2.7 * 28 = 75.6 The final number itself isn't flawed, but the graphical equation on the deck does have the math symbols in the wrong places.

Counting each guest-visitation as a separate instance makes sense to me. On one hand, the hosts will provide certain things for each guest. Invitations, individual decorations, etc. It's not like Rose & Billy can skimp on their flower b

A mouse occasionally, usually when doing graphics work. When coding, no. And I've never felt the need to use another keyboard. The built-in one is great in my opinion.

I had a lot of doubts right before switching from a big dual-screen desktop setup to a 13" mbp for all my development work. So far, I've had zero issues with it. Basically, it never feels like my productiveness is hindered by the screen siz

I've read a few books about the subject. One of my favorites is Designing The Obvious by Robert Hoekman Jr: http://www.amazon.com/Designing-Obvious-Common-Approach-Appl... It has a pretty good signal/noise ratio.

I've followed Sebastian's blog for quite a while now, and have no idea what you are talking about. Perhaps I missed some crucial post? Just doesn't seem like a fitting description of his blog. Anyway, I recommend everyone to take a look at

I think it makes sense to cater to early adopters in this phase of the product's life.

Ah, OK. Thanks for the explanation. I wasn't familiar with Perl Dancer or mplayer, so things didn't really click into place until now.

Could you explain the project in a bit more detail? Right now I'm not 100% sure what it does. Basically I'm confused because I can't relate to the problem. I've never needed to ssh into a server to play an internet radio station. What kind

Not much of a criticism, but I love the design. It's pretty generic, but it feels like a generic app site done absolutely right .

Doesn't fail miserably on my Android phone. The colored background strip is a bit too short to contain everything, but that's the only problem.

I don't really understand what it does. A quick intro text might help. What does it mean to drag "Income" to the center. Does it show cities with average income levels? Or cities with average and below income?

Interesting choice. Will definitely check it out. Thanks!

A good short-term apartment rental scene sounds perfect. Finding cheap flights is easy, but the housing doesn't seem trivial. 2 months is sort of an in-between duration. Too long for a hotel, too short for traditional renting. Remember the

Thanks! I'll check out what I can find about Lombok. Do you remember details about where you stayed? Some bungalow thingy? Super-fast connections are not a requirement. I've been perfectly happy with my phone's slow gprs connection before.

Update: The problem was related to 32 vs 64 bit kernels, and is fixed now. I also received an email confirmation from everyone who reported the issue that it works for them. Thanks!

It works on SL, and I've heard people use it to block Spotify. There's a free trial, let me know if it doesn't work for you!

Thanks! I spent a decent chunk of notebook pages and pen ink to get it the way it currently is. It feels really good to hear someone appreciates the design.

The downloadable package is now updated, and it should support 32 and 64 bit kernels. Please let me know if there are any more problems. Thanks for everyone's patience! * Edit: I also emailed everyone who had contacted me about this.

The problem seems to be about kernel architecture compatibility. I'm going through the build settings etc to see if there's some reason this happens. I'll keep this thread updated.

The open source approach surely has its benefits. However, I think/guess/believe the free closed-source app has more direct effects on my visitor traffic. Open sourcing the software would probably help me build some kind of personal brandin
