So, encryption (as opposed to hashing) COULD be prone to frequency analysis (depending on the cipher used, ROT13 for example, ha ha!). IF that's what Yahoo! were using to protect their password data. But that's a big…
So you're just going to implicitly trust the user's browser to generate the hash for you? Good luck with that, sir. And there is a reason to limit length, the very obvious reason being that short passwords are easier to…
> But why? Because you cannot trust any checks performed on the client-side, since the user may have total control over the client-side system, and possess the ability to (somehow) bypass or spoof client-side…
Actually, they are (or could be, given that I don't know for sure because I don't work there). It merely means that they are most likely looking for spaces with client-side JavaScript, and rejecting any string that…
Maybe I'm missing an important detail about the lifecycle of arctic ice, but... If the arctic ice contains plastic particles... And the particles are man made... And man has only been making small plastic particles for…
