Rocktation: You sure are funny. So you really should know what you're talking about.

Lol am a psychologist
;p

Why Not {MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, SHA-3, etc}?

These are all general purpose hash functions, designed to calculate a digest of huge amounts of data in as short a time as possible. This means that they are fantastic for ensuring the integrity of data and utterly rubbish for storing passwords.

A modern server can calculate the MD5 hash of about 330MB every second. If your users have passwords which are lowercase, alphanumeric, and 6 characters long, you can try every single possible password of that size in around 40 seconds.

And that’s without investing anything.

If you’re willing to spend about 2,000 USD and a week or two picking up CUDA, you can put together your own little supercomputer cluster which will let you try around 700,000,000 passwords a second. And that rate you’ll be cracking those passwords at the rate of more than one per second.

Salts Will Not Help You

It’s important to note that salts are useless for preventing dictionary attacks or brute force attacks. You can use huge salts or many salts or hand-harvested, shade-grown, organic Himalayan pink salt. It doesn’t affect how fast an attacker can try a candidate password, given the hash and the salt from your database.

Salt or no, if you’re using a general-purpose hash function designed for speed you’re well and truly effed.

bcrypt Solves These Problems

How? Basically, it’s slow as hell. It uses a variant of the Blowfish encryption algorithm’s keying schedule, and introduces a work factor, which allows you to determine how expensive the hash function will be. Because of this, bcrypt can keep up with Moore’s law. As computers get faster you can increase the work factor and the hash will get slower.

How much slower is bcrypt than, say, MD5? Depends on the work factor. Using a work factor of 12, bcrypt hashes the password yaaa in about 0.3 seconds on my laptop. MD5, on the other hand, takes less than a microsecond.

So we’re talking about 5 or so orders of magnitude. Instead of cracking a password every 40 seconds, I’d be cracking them every 12 years or so. Your passwords might not need that kind of security and you might need a faster comparison algorithm, but bcrypt allows you to choose your balance of speed and security.

slimyem: funny people guys are fun to be around...but that doesn't mean they are adored!
That's as simple as it is!

true...funny guys always complain sayn stuffs like "i tot she liked me " but ladies just used them as recycle bin for their feminish mis-fires and also to rehearse talking to 'other ' guys

tsharp: Bloody Indians!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lmao which indians again

so sad

Peterson1993: Yeah but it was named "nairaland hacked" before now. I was'nt blind. I don't even see any essence hacking nairaland in the first place if it was even the easiet thing to do. Na to hack federal government ATM just de my head right now

dat was d title i chose cuz its indeed a hack...d word hack isnt just about stealing and destruction yes? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_(programmer_subculture)

nd moreover i guess u didnt even read d post because if u did, u would get wht i meant

tblackE61: @prince send M̶̲̅ε̲̣̣̣̥ U̶̲̥̅̊r pin am also using 9800 A̶̲̥̅̊₪d̶̲̥̅̊ am intrested in D̶̲̥̅̊α̲̅†̥ app...pls infact add M̶̲̅ε̲̣̣̣̥ 26D9A8F5

ok

Might wanna lookup compiler designing....check coursera . They hav a very comprehensive interactive free lecture material on compiler design from stanford usa

pc guru: that Mosync looks good, but mehn writing in C++, my neck is getting stiff a bit. besides Blackberry development is easier,does Mosync have access to Blackberry's API if so not bad.

u cn also write in html5 nd javascript too... d initial plan was for my apps to be also used on my nokia phone too, so mosync lookd promising and d deployment was relatively straight forward

and yea it also has access to dat... supported

fink u shud take a look @ Mosync ... once used it to write simple apps for my bb 9800 without hassle
its an OS-independent virtual platform and software development kit (SDK) for mobile applications

does it matter ...depends on wht ur doin...i prefer laptops wid wider screen display so i can visualise my work better

Peterson1993: Lol. Which nairaland you wan hack. You go grow bear-bear on top of your pc ..

as stated...its just a theme...no hack

sisqology: omo, guys dey vex o..... find a better job

whats dis one sayin

Chess 24/7

we the galaxy note 1 users are still waiting for a stable ICS update till now, nd jellybean is alredy out, still no hope for any....now a new note just months away...hmmm

Maleeq: No thanks! I'd prefer to separate my social, albeit crazy, life separate from my professional life!

Imagine applying for a job where you state that "you are a very serious minded person", and then you have pictures of you drunk as hell or something even crazier on your profile! The employer wouldn't take you seriously. Unless they come up with a means of separating both. A lot can be deduced from stuffs a simple as a "like" or comments on facebook that could tell about a person. These may not go down well with recruiters. Just my 2cents

Thank You!....

hmm

Seun: We use our own little template framework, which is a safe, lightweight wrapper around Python's str.format function. It consists of less than 20 lines of code. If I had to use a third party templating library, I would use PyMustache's "logic-free templates".

nice...cool concept
myself im geting used to jinja2

ukren: someone should help in writting Qbasic to input 4 number and their square root and cube root in a tabular form.

10 INPUT "Insert A"; a
20 INPUT "Insert B"; b
30 INPUT "Insert C"; c
40 INPUT "Insert D"; d
50 PRINT a , a*a , a*a*a
60 PRINT b , b*b , b*b*b
70 PRINT c , c*c , c*c*c
80 PRINT d , d*d , d*d*d'

test it o...e don tey i do qbasic

just asking, when writing python codes, what templating language makes life easier for you? or do u stick to same python for templating?

ismhab: BIAFRA.

LMAO

Hello, i just got my galaxy note, pls how do i access radio(not internet radio, local FM radio) is there any app or smfin? thanx

Screenies

ok i just checked it on firefox sha and i suggest u stick with chrome (except u can modify it for firefox tho)

i modified to a custom version by editing some css ...
to view it you have to install a chrome extension called stylish.
This is the firefox extension (for firefox users), but i have not tried it on firefox yet as i use just chrome for surfing and firefox for deubging)

after installing the extension, my style can be gotten from here. Enjoy

No criticism pls, i only did this cuz i was bored(for like an hour or so) of the usual theme sha, so i decided to share...so if u can do better pls do and share ur own in this thread.
to get info on the style elements and id, i suggest you use firebug(for developers)...
