I’m trying to grasp which benefit can KDF like PBKDF2, scrypt and bcrypt (I know that bcrypt is technically not KDF) may bring over hashing in loop like sha256sum(sha256sum(sha256sum…..(salt + master password))) – N times, where N equals… Continue reading KDF vs hash function in loop for hashing password
I’m looking for the name of a concept that works as follows:
I post a hash of a file publically e.g. on Twitter
Whenever needed, I provide the file with the contents that make up the given hash
The purpose is maybe to proof ownership or … Continue reading What is the name of this concept involving hashes?
Suppose I have a resource that I want to be accessible only using a specific link. I could generate a link using a 256 bit random identifier, e.g. https://example.com/aMXtSQufIxntoMSnTQGdgMfs84VzM-ae7gog1hoqojS—then only the user in posses… Continue reading Random identifier vs identifier plus HMAC
I was trying to use the following format with John:
john –format=dynamic=’crc32($p.$s)’ –wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt hash.txt
"Error: dynamic hash must start with md4/md5/sha1 and NOT a *_raw version. This expression … Continue reading John The Ripper: dynamic format with CRC32 and Salt
What kind of security do you suggest for this case?
What do you think is the security flow?
It is happening in a web which download a PDF document, inside the document has a QR code. This QR code has a URL to the same web page, but display… Continue reading What kind of security is it? Base64/MD5. Key with 22 characters and 32 characters
I plan to use it locally on mobile devices. These seems to do not offer computational power as good as on a server.
So what could be a secure argon2id parameters that run around 1s since offline apps should also be friendly too?
I have a black-box token generation system from a Unity (Android) app, and the format is as follows (with one real example from the system, and unlabelled parts were identical for bunch of different tokens; "…" means the string… Continue reading Crack HMAC-SHA512 to find plaintext with the known secret key
Picture a state of the art implementation of a website registration and login system.
I’m interested in analyzing what a defender gains and loses by feeding the user password to a key-stretching KDF function (e.g. argon2).
Let’s start from… Continue reading On the gains and losses of an additional client side stretching of the user password
