A Data Encryption Result Produces A Phone Number - See Miracle In Photo by meetmeonline: 5:48am On May 11, 2017 |
Many of you may say "what's the big deal?" but this will take you a lifetime of tries (in billions) which may still never yield result. Was just doing my regular coding and wanted to check output and to my wow I found that one of my results produced a valid Nigerian phone number with its first 11 characters. Analysis: This is a name hashing, using MCRYPT_BLOWFISH encryption (with a very serious key) of which result is converted to a hexadecimal value and used to tag a field on the client (browser) end. Why the celebration: The computer does millions of calculations (and even billions depending on the key) to hide a value against the wrong eye of which result comes in binaries and is converted to a hexadecimal value (my style) for easy and safe transfer. The result of this usually comes in a very irregular pattern eg. "d6b3d9ddcf2df11ed23946f8957a1f9", "34aadf8117755243ef3c877d3af4e1e"...The 170 million people in Nigeria can keep trying for the next 10 years and no one will ever come up with a "080" let alone a complete phone number at the start with an alphabet right after it.
