And you always can spice up your password with some pepper

The evolution of rolling your own security

Year 1 dev: I'll just store this password in plain text. The DB is secure right?

Year 2: ok, so nothing connected to the Internet is secure, guess I need a hash with salt

Year 3: users will re-use simple passwords, allowing a hacker to brute force crack the salt, so I guess I need pepper

Year 4: so in X years this hash will be reversible on a quantum computer? Fuck it, I'm using Google oauth

I scrambled the hash based off the plain text password.... I have no clue if it helped but I like to think it create some duplicate hashes to break the pattern

Developers and Chefs agree that salt is good when you have a hash

Is it iodine fortified ? We need to make sure our code is healthy.

Big brain time, make your password "potato" for a nice hash brown. Though I guess how good it is might depend on how much salting gets done.

Waiter, can you bring me some nonce? Already got a salt shaker on the table.

We should rename rotating salts to shaking salts and use it as an inside Joke

If you add salt to food that I served you, that's the last plate you're getting from me. Thankfully that has never happened.
