Good point! But still, in the last 20 years the market went through 2 big crises and strong bull periods... of course is not final answer, but to me is kinda significant :)
Re:Report a security vulnerability as an ethical hacker on Saturday April 02, 2022 @04:22AM (#30886690)
I totally see your point, and mostly agree :)

Except for the fact that IMO disclousre is important, even if sometimes it can be painful, it's still the best way to get vulnerabilities fixed make the Internet a little bit safer.

Next time you find a 0day, try OpenCIRT. We can't guarantee anything but we are putting lots of efforts in designing strong procedures for effective disclosure.

Re:Cracking WordPress passwords with 20 lines of Go on Sunday May 31, 2020 @01:18PM (#23370937)
Hey Folks, author here!

The post is just supposed to be a plain-text explanation of WordPress hashes, and the script is an explanatory POC.

As I mentioned, of course, there are more solid solutions out there but that's not the point.

Regarding the title, it was not supposed to be a clickbait. I just changed it to a more appropriate one :)

Hope you can take something good out of it.

Cheers, everybody!
