Can someone explain me the technical details as to how the mirroring of the website didn't raise any suspicion from the customer or buyer side ? Someone mentioned here that the sites are end to end encrypted, so how exactly did the dut

AFAIK, Moxie(OWS Founder) was responsible for the integration of the Signal protocol into WhatsApp. So, if there are any design/implementation flaws in the underlying protocol, wouldn't they also be in Whatsapp too ? Again, this m

I read the book around a year ago and I remember him pointing out the uncertainty to his claims. It was simply his personal research and views which I think should be taken at his face value. Sure, there might be a few things wrong here and

To anyone interested about the history of human evolution, I highly recommend Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Harari. It's the best book I have read about human history and how we have evolved until now. The book is also

Again, you are taking the suggestions too literally. What I simply suggest is a better alternative than AMP. Optimize pages better, improve their rendering engine, make better compression algorithms, complex CDN's or something which I

Exactly. You can ask Google/Facebook to provide hotspots inside trains, ask the network provider to make cell reception better inside the subway etc. There are ways to achieve a better outcome instead of locking down how you consume th

I personally don't see any major improvements in speed when using AMP. It might be marginal but too small to notice for a regular user. Another factor can be that AMP might work better on Chrome which is again Google sucking you into t

Again, I didn't start pursuing CS in college to get employed. I started learning more about computers, learnt to code websites and then went back to figuring out how a computer works. However, I haven't figured out which area of t

I totally agree with this. Even I started with web development (backend though) and for a brief period tried to grok some JS frameworks. Took up jobs immaterial of the front end stack and started learning them on the fly. Played with Angula

I am in a similar boat as you(a broke teenager) but I don't like freelancing that much. I tried a few websites and they mostly make you do uninteresting work at low rates which doesn't justify the time you put into it. Sure, you c

Shouldn't the reduction is input space for the subsequent hash functions actually make it easier to find collisions ? Or is finding collisions not closely related to input space ? The paper is a bit above my level of understanding and

by whoami_nr 9y ago
Technically, it does actually. Suppose we use SHA-256 as first hashing algorithm, the input space for the second is effectively reduced to the 256 bits of output from the first which is much smaller compared to the input space of the first

Which is actually better in terms of time required to brute force(as in which takes longer) ? Two different fast algorithms with moderate work factors or one algorithm with a pretty high work factor ?

I am not an expert on password hashing but I was wondering why can't the websites hash their passwords twice using two different hash algorithms. That way when the hashes are exposed, the attackers have to go through two algorithms. Is
