blag

[Sidoh]

I liked your passwords blag. 

[iago]

Thanks!

[Blaze]

Me too, now that I've read it.  Need a second mirror for the passwords? 

[iago]

Haha, I think I'm ok. Feel free to download them all, though, just in case I get asked to remove them at some point.

Er....what?

iago, I just wanted to use this opportunity to thank you so much for everything that you've done for me.

Heh, when I hear 'blag' I think of a show that none of you (except Blaze) have ever heard of, probably: Corner Gas.

I think I've even watched an episode, but that's only because you made me.

I liked the last two posts on your blag.  They were cool.  I especially liked the Taco Bell programming bit.  I've never used xargs in that way, but I definitely will be doing so in the future.

This seems like a solid (ish) way to generate random salts in PHP. Thoughts?

Code: [Select]

$salt = md5(rand() . microtime())

It seems to me that this is about as good as it gets.  Some of the things people come up with are a lot more convoluted than this, which puzzles me.

Shit, no wonder my salts always get cracked.

Code: [Select]

$salt = md5(rand() . $penisLen)


[Sidoh]

That code is equivalent to

Code: [Select]

$salt = md5(rand() . 0);
Better than the nonsense code in iago's blog, but could be better.
