In English, it is acceptable to use "masculine" words when the gender of the person is unknown. This is often the best stylistic choice. For example, it is better to say "he" than "they" when talking about a single person with unknown gender.
IDK...more and more computer texts I read use the female type instead of the s/he absurdness. But I'd really watch out cuz if Alice and Mallory every got their shit together they would totally kick the loving fuck out of Bob in a heartbeat. I lawled! Good analogy.... horrible thought just now..... |

My theory was that if someone were to set a static salt in a file and the attacker only downloaded the database it would render useless(this only works if the salt length is of a long length such as 64characters long mininum).
Thats just my thoery, any great ideas on protecting your self bruteforcing for this particular situatiom?
You cannot protect a password hash from brute forcing and still allowing an authentication system to work. Some seem to mistake salt for a secret nonce (which it isn't) which would just make the database of secret nonces into another password database. There's no reason to suspect two databases to be more secure than one. Salt's only purpose is to make rainbow table lookups ineffective/useless. The salt used on this forum succeeded in doing that. I'm worried about the lack of basic crypto terminology and usage in some posts here. I think you assume too much. I'm dont find the need to prove my self of how valid my programming skills are based on how well i use accurate teminology especially over the internetz! Lol! |

WHAT PROGRAMMER IN THEIR RIGHT MIND SALTS WITH THAT KIND OF DATA!?!?!
Anyone who understands what salt is and why it is used? Using the nickname as salt instead of a random value doesn't change the fact that it makes rainbow table lookups useless. Salt is never a secret and doesn't protect against brute forcing anyway. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography) My theory was that if someone were to set a static salt in a file and the attacker only downloaded the database it would render useless(this only works if the salt length is of a long length such as 64characters long mininum). Thats just my thoery, any great ideas on protecting your self bruteforcing for this particular situatiom? |

Hawt diggity dawg learn something new everyday. WO-man in the middle.
Imma edit wikipedia right now You are the man!! WO-man that is.... wait are you man? man in the middle is when somebody sits in the middle of a connection. if it were not for "trusted authorities" when certs are initially exchanged, somebody could swap out the certs with their own, so the man in the middle could read the messages and re encrypt them with his keys that they also both had. it may sound confusing, but thats why we have verisign and other idiots running around doing nothing but signing shit with their certs for large sums of capital, sometimes thousands for a single signature. |

You mean exec and it's cat not vi. Vi would open the file to edit, cat shows its content.
What's retarded about using a forum?! Supposedly there's no financial data here, nothing but baloney and chit-chat. So nothing to worry about, let the "hacker" be happy.
Yep you are correct, however , i'm not going the mile to checking the validity of my post for every single word. This forum isn't really that worth the integrity. |

Mayebe now that one order has been successfully shipped at the customers door, I'll start getting some credibility around here!  lol ^^ |

I'm going to pledge 2 BTC per shop that delivers physical goods to the mainland UK, up to a total of 10 BTC (5 shops) to start.
Mind saving that 2BTC for me, I'm going to integrate UK addresses right into my cheaperinbitcoins.com system, right now I do manual international shipping scince the input forum only accepts USA addresses. If I know it will be waiting for me I can get all this integrated in about a day or two? |

I don't ignore people by forum plugin(or w/e), i take responsibility for the information I'm receiving and outright ignore them my self.
Its much funner to say... "omg that member is still trolling".... then it is to say..... "I live in a pre-filtered world, go me!"

A good programmer would salt the data that is in a file, but then again, I guess I'm looking like an ass whole becuase the attacker could have just ran exe('vi /www/salt_location/saltfail.txt'); or something of the like.... lol Different forum software I guess right? wtf why do people use these forums even after an attack? sounds retarded.
anyways you guys have fun... this forum is funner then watching Jersey Shore....

uh, i use windows and get over 100 connections, you obviously don't understand how to properly forward ports.
Hey we don't all live in areas with Gigabits of Internet just laying around I'm running off out in the middle of the woods. My point was mainly for those who don't actively forward ports...... your posts made it sound like it was a windows problem, and not a user problem. I wasn't implying either. I was just asking given the circumstances of the low amount of windows connections is it possible to own 1000 nodes to attack one specific node. So what I did was, I took a real world problem and asked a real world question but I'm glad we got all of this cleared up. Cancer node was the answer in case anyone was wondering. |
