Your hash is going to be of a tiny set though, the same as a 4- or 5-character password. That's possible to brute force in seconds , even with the slowest algorithm.

After fixing bad algorithms, dealing with performance and resource utilization basically comes down to a series of trade-offs. In most cases: Less RAM = More CPU or more disk space (and much slower) Less CPU = more disk or RAM Less disk = m

Cleaning accounts from your password manager and cleaning your accounts from the internet are two very different things. The article and my comment were about the former. I agree with you though, that a well-known url for delete would be go

I remember one local BBS that had a RIP-based menu (and I think it was in fact running Searchlight BBS [1], from looking at this) and it always felt so weird going on that system. People did all kinds of neat stuff using ANSI graphics, but

Typically, a registrar is not irreplaceable. They could terminate your account so you'd have to transfer to another registrar, but unless their TOS says they can seize your domain they shouldn't be able to completely block you. Ev

Yeah, though a salt would at least mean you'd have to rebuild the table for each site/database/whatever. However I'm having a hard time seeing how to really protect against this. The IP is a an identifier, so unlike pass

One of the first things you should do when you find a library that you are considering is look at the license. This applies to any language, and any type of software (commercial, open source, SaaS or not). Even for open source, not all open

I dislike several aspects of this quiz, and think it's actively harmful to users. It's great to train on the URLs, but that's not the only warning sign with these. --- 1) "Hey there. Here is the doc you asked for."

Ah, I see. Unfortunately that's an aspect of the way the PBX is setup, and nothing to do with how caller ID works specifically. Most extensions don't have a DID (direct inward dial [1]) number, and unfortunately many inbound routi

"Spoofing" caller ID is a feature, not a bug or hack. Pretty much all VoIP providers let you send a callerID name/number [1]. If they don't, it's because they've done extra work to explicitly block it. If you&#
