I copied it when it asked me to confirm my password and pasted it.

It worked instantly.

Same length as mine

I changed my phone's clock to 1:00 and it worked for me

Finally finished it. It has been so stressful.

"Congratulations! You have sucessfully chosen a password in 211 characters."

I got lucky when I found a bug with Paul (otherwise I would have given up)

Wow! That is an interesting issue.

I was thinking of having a third-party trusted services that compares the hash of the deployed application to the one they independently compiled themselves.

But the complexity is nontrivial and there is enough variations between the output of the same source code across different build environments that would make hashes useless.

Another possibility is having trusted compilers that would send link the source code to the build in a trusted repository.

The best book to mimic in my opinion is "Learn You a Haskell for Great Good!"

Re:The dots do matter: how to scam a Gmail user on Sunday April 08, 2018 @02:24AM (#16784900)
Upon entering a valid email (whether it is already registered or not) the form will show the following notification "an email was sent to [email protected] with the sign up instructions, please follow the link in the email to continue the registration" (rewrite for more concise message)

If the user already exists the email will be a warning + a link to the password reset form

If the user does not exist, the email will be a link that confirms the ownership of the email address and the rest of the registration process.

An attacker trying to guess if an email is registered would not know, because the form does not give away that info.

Re:Let them paste passwords on Thursday May 18, 2017 @06:34PM (#14371640)
Why would they need to store the hash for all the combinations?

Why not generate a list of similar passwords to the new password, hash them all using the same salt of the previous password and then compare them.

Re:Avoid Non-Microsoft Antivirus Software on Thursday January 26, 2017 @03:13AM (#13489635)
It is a feature [0]. Microsoft office products allow for "macros" which are Visual Basic code embedded within a document or a worksheet that can be used by developers to add extra functionalities to their MS files (e.g. validate all data in a work sheet after a user clicks a specific button in the worksheet).

Just like any programming language, it could be used maliciously, and there is no easy way to distinguish which macro-enabled file is safe and which isn't (without going through the code yourself prior to enabling the functionality)

I hope you don't mind me asking, but I would really appreciate if you could share the curriculum you have been working on, or if you could share you experience.

I am currently trying to do the same, so I would appreciate any form of help I can get.

Regards.
