If you drink the British beer, then refill the glass with ice cold water you get US beer.
If you use a clean glass instead, you get Bud Lite.

This method[^] can be used to convert other types of beer as well (in our case UK beer in, US beer out)!

I believe you're referring to this:
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen. For those discussions where you wish to be a little more frank, use the Soapbox[^]".
If stand-up regulars start breaking the rules, we'll be up to our necks in trolls and @rseholes within six months.
Trying to avoid that (which I have seen happen over and over again, through the decades, so don't bother trying to pull the "it'll never happen here" defence) is not nazism, it's plain common sense.

It seems rather pertinent to you lot. I pretty much agree with his ordering as well, and especially agree with the hover text.

From what I've heard from others, App Store is such a PITA to work with, it takes a lot of effort to get your code working based on how you are supposed to use the the tools. Conversely, as a user downloading something from an app store, I've never had a problem.
And package managers should be at the bottom of the list too. Rarely does that process work without some pain point. Actually, I have better experiences with PM's on Linux than I do with Window's NuGet.

We're going from a [private] github repo.
It deploys, it builds and anything that doesn't work is my fault.

If you in the projected path of the storm, be safe.
I have a co-worker in North Carolina who has moved inland; his area is probably going to take a hard hit.
In South Carolina, I should be far enough inland to only have rain, but, the East Coast is being evacuated ahead of the storm.
Things can be replaced; lives are lost forever.

Hmm, Any idea which place in NC. I have few relatives who live in Wilmington and are on world tour and returning this weekend..

He lives in Southport; works out of Wilmington.. or close to there.

Wilmington is projected to get slapped pretty hard, as is the whole coast. The storm has diverted east more than expected, but anyone on coastal NC needs to be cautious.

So we have a new password policy here at work and one of the rules is you cannot change it into something that is too similar to the previous one.
Question: How is that determined since the hashing value should change significantly if you change just one letter ?
|
|
|
|
|
When resetting your password you usually need to enter your existing password so the code has both and can compare.
If you're not asking for the existing password then the system either stores passwords in plain text or in encrypted form.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, we don't need to re-enter the old password and assuming it does not save it in clear text, how is it comparing the old (encrypted) password to the new (encrypted) one?
example:
OLD
password text: god_123
encryped: &#HDSW
NEW
password text: god_124
encrypted: )#@^Y@
it should not save the text version and it should not be able to compare the encrypted version, right?
[EDIT]We are "logged in" though, (LDAP), but I'm assuming, equally, the password is not saved in memory either...[/EDIT]

Your questions sound a bit fishy... Are you sure you're not trying get us to help you crack the system???

Ha ha, no. They had an attack here at work last year and since then we're forced to use increased security policies, but we're doubting the effect of some of the measures...
|
|
|
|

In Active Directory, there is a GPO that you can activate to force passwords storage in plain text.
I cannot imagine any situation where that would be suitable, though.
On the other hand, the security breach concerning passwords must not be observed only through their storage on the servers; humans themselves may represent a non negligeable risk when it comes to password security (writing them down on a sticky note, always following the same pattern, references to family, friends, pets, etc.).
Loneliness and cheeseburgers are a dangerous mix.

I have a little black A6 notebook, one of the ubiquitous ones with hard covers and a red spine, and I am ceasing the practice of using only a few passwords, and setting a new one for each account. Then every new user-password pair is written into that book. My passwords, except on their systems, can only be found in one place, and nowhere online.
And if I buy the farm, friends and family can look up needed passwords in that book, without having to subscribe anywhere online, or know any other password. I think that book has one of the highest levels of all password storage security strategies that exist.
Oh yes, and I never say them out aloud as I write them, in case someone, somewhere, somehow, is listening in on me.

It decrypts it first, encryption is two-way. So it takes "&#HDSW" from the database as your old password and decrypts it to "god_123". It then compares that to the new password you've entered.

LDAP stores password in history using HASH, no two way encryption there...
The only password may be stored as cleartext is the current one...

All of my passwords at work are stored as plain text.
