but there are 208.8 billion permutations for 8 letter long strings, not including upper case, not allowing numbers, or symbols. The odds of any given one having been harvested, especially when you end up with upper case, numbers, and allowed symbols, is fairly low.

The point is that you don’t use the same password for everything, you randomly generate a new one every time you register for a site. 1 million doesn’t even register in terms of possibilities for one specific short length of string using not even close to half of the available characters. What are the limitations of a rainbow table? 32 character alphanumeric case sensitive is 2.27^57. Basically I learned about password hashing 8 years ago in college, and that was just how to make a hash table. None of the security stuff involved in attempts to get the data out.

https://www.fastcompany.com/40549479/students-are-using-their-loan-money-to-buy-cryptocurrency-studyquote:The Student Loan Report surveyed 1,000 current college students with student loan debt about whether they were asked whether they used their student loan money to invest in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and found that 21.2% of them have Sallie Mae to thank for their cryptocurrency investment. Many students borrow a little more money than is necessary to pay for tuition and books, according to Student Loan Report. The leftover cash is typically used for college living expenses, but some wily students think that investing in Ethereum or Ripple may be a better investment than a bachelor's degree in comparative English literature.

Even worse, Yahoo does the email infrastructure for ISP's. So accounts without @yahoo in the name whose users have never even been to yahoo.com are impacted by the hack. Back when I worked at AT&T, a friend who used to work in the email side claimed that since all the authentication was done on the AT&T side, our ISP accounts were not impacted. But then we got letters saying, "whoops, guess what". gently caress Yahoo.

Tamba posted:Watch this Oh look, he says that short passwords with just lower case letters can be brute forced very quickly. Just like the example I gave, because I didn't want to deal with exponential notation when typing on my phone. And for explaining the number of possibilities for a brute force he used the same calculation that I did. He even said that once you get to 9+ characters (using all possible characters) it's going to be difficult to brute force even with MD5. And the entire point of a randomly generated password is that it's The whole thing I was trying to say, which has apparently been misunderstood repeatedly, was that any randomly generated password is extremely unlikely to be in the 1 million Yahoo passwords BarbarianElephant mentioned, or even in the 14 Million RockYou password list mentioned in the Computerphile video. Sure, it's got to deal with all of the other security issues passwords have, but 1 million passwords is barely a drop in the bucket of possible strings, so "$@^$^U@$(^999uu935nlknglke11horse" is a lot more secure than Grandma's "Harold1923", even with BFC's spirit animal in it. All this aside, it needs to be pointed out that one of the passwords in the example password list was ganjagoblin. And I need to figure out how to make Computerphile videos appear obviously work relevant because that was a really cool video. Or maybe I'm missing something, I'm rarely up this early.

I would 100% seriously pay $5/mo for SA, $10 if it came with stuff like plat, archives, free av change for yourself every x months. I get more use by far out of this forum than I do Netflix. Just leave the one time $19 as an option too.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Definitely use two factor auth on any platform you remotely care about protecting your identity on. The password just needs to be good enough, but don't use 123456 or some nonsense. As long as you never go places without cell service or travel or work offshore, cause then you’re hosed! Reddit is awful. It’s all so manipulated and propagandized, you never know if someone is real or a shill for some agenda. I feel like most of us joined SA back when we were teenagers, so while we have our share of weirdo maladjusted neckbeards at least they are real people. Do new people join SA? How many of us are there left? Oh man hosting these forums for one time tenbux is some BWM. Pretty cheap for like 16+ years of entertainment.

New people join but not at nearly the rate they did ~10 years ago. It still has a pull as a well-moderated site with interesting people who put actual effort into posting, but it doesn't have the ego appeal of reddit's karma system. It's also gained a reputation as a leftist forum in general, I think, so that has colored its curb appeal a bit. That, and I think people simply don't have the patience to wade through nearly uncurated posts anymore.
