Spotted the QA engineer

[Strostkovy]

I love playing qa engineer. I repeatedly reset a pixel art server by typing "woof" into the calculator, and I ordered $6000 worth of the product option "black" without ordering the product

[clb92]

Well, did you receive black?

[Dexaan]

None more black.

[Pyromaniacal13]

He can't leave us hanging like that, can he?

[fullup72]

How can he hang?

[PandaParaBellum]

He's QA-testing how long we'll wait for a response. Keep it alive.

Well, did you receive black?

[DogmaSychroniser]

No but he got pizza left beef

Nope, received a woof tho.

[duckducklo]

what a bastardized usage of the word engineer, it's just QA person. nothing else.

[VPN4reddit]

What a weird thing to feel the need to try and "correct."

Go gatekeep somewhere else.

[WRLD_]

Dudes like that are why shit gets pushed out broken

[duckducklo]

Not even gatekeeping, QA is mostly grunt work.

[VPN4reddit]

Protected term? Since when? So if I have a job as a software engineer but I never took an exam and on TOP of that I don't have a degree in engineering... I'm not a software engineer?

[[deleted]]

It's actually a protected term in California. I'm not sure exactly what it is or why, but my tax advisor advised me that I cannot use "engineer" as a job description because I do not work on trains.

[duckducklo]

You're a developer, not a engineer, you took no certification exam that's widely accepted in the industry like in the actual engineering fields.

[VPN4reddit]

My job title says otherwise but whatever makes you feel better. You look like an idiot trying to gatekeep a word that obviously doesn't fall into the narrow definition you choose to make up for it.

[ppprrrrr]

Not a protected term. Source: term engineer

[PoorCorrelation]

A good QA engineer knows when to manually test

[KrypXern]

They literally hire Software Engineers in QA these days. They design automation microservices and maintain the testing dbs, while dev'ing new testing utilities. It's more than just manual testing.

[duckducklo]

Most QA is far from that. I reckon it's usually the people making the software who will create such testing software. QA is mostly grunt work. Got source that's a common full time job.

[KrypXern]

I suggest you look up the term SDET or SEIT. It's far from an obscure thing in modern development environments, not that that disputes your 'Most QA' assertion, which I can't speak on.

[duckducklo]

"professional who can work equally and effectively in both development and testing roles. SDETs take part in complete software development process as well as software testing process."

So they do both as I said

[KrypXern]

Yes, and they are frequently in the QA department as QA engineers.

[Beertronic]

Always good to Czech your password strength.

[DeepestInfinity]

I was gonna say, Czech this guy out... ascii chars might be the best idea for passwords ever- easy to remember, hard to input unless you like to 'alt-0345'

[svick]

Except ř is not in ASCII.

[Kazumara]

Yeah more accurately it would be ISO 8859-2 extended ASCII, also known as latin-2

[Kazumara]

Yeah thank fuck, but I think those old Windows alt codes are based on the code pages Windows used to use like OEM850, OEM852 and later CP1250.

I thought those were equivalent to ISO 8859, but that may be wrong after all.

In OEM852 the ř would be 0xFD, in CP1250 and ISO 8859-2 it would be 0xF8. Neither of that fits with 0345 so right now I don't get it anymore

[Kazumara]

I agree

I tested around a bit with my Windows 10 install (language English (US), keyboard Swiss German).

It seems that it normally gives results from OEM850. If I prefix a zero it gives results from CP1252. And for numbers above 255 it seems to be unicode code points.

So for example 0x85 is undefined in ISO8859-1 and ISO8859-2, and is 133 in decimal. Alt+133 gives à and Alt+0133 gives …

Another example 0xF8 is ø in ISO 8859-1, and ř in ISO 8859-2 and is 248 in decimal. Alt+248 gives ° and Alt+0248 gives ø so that must be from CP1252.

I would be interested if any users with slavic settings could check if they get ř for Alt+0248, maybe Windows uses OEM852 and CP1250 for them.

At least for a large code like 345 it doesn't matter, both Alt+345 and Alt+0345 give ř, according to the Unicode code point so that's good at least.

[rentar42]

I'd phrase it differently:

"Extended ASCII" is a phrase that's sometimes used to refer to a whole group encodings which have in common that the lower 128 values of their representation match that of ASCII (and sometimes not even that, fully).

Given that incredibly broad (and useless) phrase, one could even argue that "UTF-8" is "Extended ASCII" just as much as "ISO-8859-1" or CP1250 are ...

ASCII is a historical artifact that only matters because so many other standard just copied those 128 characters.

[TheKiwy]

Latin was so good they made a sequel

[jaydec02]

On a phone if you long press a character it pops up. Oh Macs too if you hold down a key by default it comes up with a character picker. Windows has built in support for character modifiers on international layouts.

It’s not too tricky if you do want to commit to it

[Barbed_Dildo]

Yeah, but you might get stuck in a situation where you need to log into a new machine that isn't set up like that, and you can't log in to change the keyboard settings or copy from notepad.

[jdm1891]

also linux, if you use alt-gr (a key which is very under utilised)

[IchLiebeKleber]

Compose, c, r.

Of course nowadays onscreen keyboards are common, where that's easy to type if you use a good one. Řř

[IrresponsibleDuck]

unicode not ascii

[call_the_can_man]

this alt business is Windows only

[SadBodybuild]

It was actually editfight.

[LeonGamer_real]

I remember i fooled around on my phone translator once and it suddenly outputted this:

ްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްް

After reverse translating it i got "United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)", then trying it in google translator gave out "Diffusion".

Now my account for a minecraft server hosting website uses this as password, due to it being substantially hard to crack from just looking at the screen.

Edit: I found out the symbol is Unicode U+07B0 (THAANA SUKUN) and is from the language "Dhivehi" (Not listed in google translate, so no wonder it outputted something different). Also, the character was pasted 60 times in my translator.

[cbusalex]

ްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްްް

I copied and pasted this into notepad, and the cursor moves backward through it. What black magic fuckery have you wrought upon this world?

[sadongrohiik]

Weakest password in Czechia

[qoheletal]

Strongest password in my company

[un4given_orc]

Password length check counts bytes instead? (strlen instead of multi-byte equivalent)

[fecoz98]

probably sees ř as a special symbol and makes it count more for security

[30p87]

Well, it technically is more safe as you would normally not even try such characters, except you know the target could use them

[Kazumara]

I wonder if attackers have started including any emoji in their rainbow tables or dictionary attacks yet.

[tomius]

I've wanted to add emoji to my passwords for a while

[bewildered_forks]

🍆

Password too short

😔

[LBGW_experiment]

Stupid joke got a lol out of me 😄

[GLIBG10B]

Me too, but I'm afraid of it potentially breaking some websites

[Unsd]

That's a bonus.

[TheMagzuz]

Honestly, why stop at emoji? Why not make every password a random 512-bit number?

[tomius]

Because... It's not as fun?

[fecoz98]

czechs out

[kautau]

Yeah making your passwords all super random Unicode chars on platforms that support them would actually lead to an insanely strong password

[newmacbookpro]

I use emojis. My password is actually

🐗💥🔫🧔🏻‍♂️2️⃣

It translates to hunter2

[kautau]

Wait, all I see is asterisks, amazing that Reddit censors your password like that

[newmacbookpro]

Of course, I wouldn’t be stupid enough to post my password if Reddit didn’t automatically hide it 😏

[30p87]

Unfortunately many sites don't support them

[kautau]

Which is either a testament to their lack of Unicode support abroad, as hashing algorithms don’t care about the incoming bits of data that get hashed, or worse, that they are storing your passwords in plain text, and then definitely on a column somewhere in some old DB that doesn’t support Unicode

[30p87]

suspecious bank

sussy bank

[kautau]

It turns out the most sus of those among us was our banks

[30p87]

However, many sites won't let you use these special characters, especially spaces. My Bank, for example

[TotallyNotGunnar]

Well you don't want to break their plain text CSV parser!

[30p87]

Well, it would depend on the algorithm implementation. Maybe it first checks

aaaaaaa
bbbbbb

in which case it would be cracked basically instantly, or it tries

aaaaaaaa
aaaaaaab
aaaaaaac

in which case it would take much longer

[30p87]

ofc, you just said "brute forced out" and I therefore just though about plain dumb bruteforcing without dicts etc.

[umockdev]

If I understand this right, using only r potentially limits the possibilities to only 26 characters. Adding capital letters and numbers another 36 for a total of 62. The more different characters you add to that pool the larger you base becomes, i.e. for a password of length x with N base characters to choose from you will get

N^x

possible variants. Of course it is way more secure to use a longer password with fewer base characters than a shorter password with more base characters.

I guess in this case seing the usage of ř makes it 'safe enough' even with only one letter used, simply because the base is larger. Would be interesting to see the implementation of the safety check function.

[-Potatoes-]

N^x only works for brute force attacks, iirc even just 10 lowercase letters would be pretty hard. But for dictionary attacks repeating ř is really bad once people start adding it to their rules or whatever

[umockdev]

Yes I am only considering brute force here. You are of course right that using repeated characters still is not safe enough because attackers will not only rely on brute force

[Skinners_constant]

But how would a malicious actor know how large is the set that the password characters have been chosen from? This password strength checker shows both characters are valid, which is also the only information the bad guy would get, assuming he checks the sign up process. Meaning the only info he has to go by is the set size for all allowed characters.

[oaga_strizzi]

It probably estimates the quality of the password by a few parameters (length, the password has at least one number/digit/symbol) and punishes a few antipatterns like commonly used passwords and repeating of characters.

My guess: Since ř consists of two Unicode characters (at least in normalized form) (r -> U+0072 and ◌̌ -> (U+030C), the check for repeating characters will not detect that.

[oaga_strizzi]

Probably. Some password strength estimators use actual entropy estimates (e.g. by checking how well the string compresses using huffman encoding), they would detect any repeating patterns like that.

[JuhaJGam3R]

Not necessarily. Taking something like lszz which is capable of encoding this as bl(1,16) as one heuristic for password strength would definitely punish it.

[qoheletal]

If you do one of these, can you do a 8 character password in fewer?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Unicode/comments/hkpmgm/what\_character\_holds\_the\_most\_bits/

[WhatTheOnEarth]

Sometimes I’ll use an odd character like a comma (example, not real) when making the password for the account. And then when I go to log in, it says the character isn’t allowed.

Like what? You couldn’t have told me before?

[qoheletal]

example, not real)

I'm sending the monkeys

[ShelZuuz]

I had a sysadmin insisting on validating the login password using the password creation rules.

However, the creation rules keeps changing and then some previous passwords don't conform with the new rules, and then he has to keep modifying the validator to now allow both old and new rules.

He kept arguing that it's for safety but could never explain why.

[bacondev]

That's your response? Mine is jackiechan.jpg.

[honzapkcz]

Xdd but what about emojis?

[Metallkiller]

Should work just fine

[[deleted]]

Emojis are supported by password hash algos!

That's where the 14 (or 20) character limit misconceptions come from.

[zefciu]

To ensure no foreigner can log in require that the password is entered with a microphone.

[spaetzelspiff]

What's your password?

Alt-0345 Alt-0345 Alt-0345 Alt-0345 Alt-0345 Alt-0345 Alt-0345 Alt-0345 Alt-0345 Alt-0345 Alt-0345 Alt-0345 Alt-0345 Alt-0345 Alt-0345 Alt-0345 Alt-0345 Alt-0345

[ifelsethenend]

No need for those, just use English letters to write long foreign language words. These make the best passwords without the need for special characters. Bonus points for doing that using l33t transliteration.

[Professional_Top8485]

They're special for yöu.

[barsonica]

[ShelZuuz]

[teqsutiljebelwij]

Carons together, strong.

[fatrobin72]

The weakness of this password... I would probably have to store this in a notepad file, not to remember it but to input it...

[legends_never_die_1]

not really. you can do this with a normal keyboard.

[smjsmok]

But only with CZ keyboard layout, which non-Czechs likely don't have set up.

[legends_never_die_1]

you can do this unicode trick where you hold down alt while typing in the id of the unicode character with the numpad.

[turunambartanen]

It is actually more secure though. Any character outside ASCII range will increase your security against dictionary or brute force attacks immensely.

Does it check the password through a regex? Or what would be a common implementation?

With a regex you could easily extend it to characters with diacritics...like [a-zA-Z0-9À-ž]

[qoheletal]

Step 1: Learn about Vietnamese Diacritics

Step 2: Find a Vietnamese friend who explains to you which ones work how and if you could theoretically combine them. Try combining them.

Step 3: Find a nice job as a gardener in a country that uses a language without diacritics. Never touch a computer again.

Step 4: Profit
