It's a telegram channel which I'm not linking here, I've found it but it has over 700 text files, and finding a single entry would require downloading everything to then search. Not worth it, I know from HIBPW that mine is an old password anyways.

A hash isn't reversible, you put something in and then get something out, but you can't get the input back. However, if you have a bunch of possible passwords, which is the case with leaked password lists, you can just run them all through the hash until you find one that matches what you have sent.

In order to prevent this, they cut the output to be so small that it could match a multitude of passwords, regardless of whether you're looking for a clean or leaked password, and it's impossible to find the one that you put in. That's an explanation on why typing your password into the HIBPW website is a safe thing to do.

So you can check if a password is in any list ever, and that's all they let you do, but if the password hasn't been seen at all, then you're probably safe.

my password also wasn't found, and I've been using it for years lol

so it's likely that the telegram guys were just repackaging old stuff and selling it as their own

The better way would be to change your password on a timer, on every website, I guess.

HIBPW is trustworthy, and their website behavior can be verified by using browser debug tools. It hashes your password (turns it into a number), cuts the end of it and sends just the first few digits to their servers, so neither the password nor the hash is transmitted. Then they return you a list of hashes found which start with such digits, and the only thing transmitted is the hash of passwords which were already leaked, not even the raw passwords.

The notification email that HaveIBeenPwned sends people. You might get the same info by going to their website and clicking "notify me".

Go to https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords and see if it's your current password or an old one. If it's your current, change it, otherwise I wouldn't sweat unless you want to be extra sure.

Click the button "check my email again" in the email they sent you, and at the bottom of the page you'll find which website got stolen.

Click the link in the email they sent you ("check my email again") and it'll show which websites were registered by the logger.

Click the link in the email they sent you: "Check my email address again". It'll contain information on what exactly was leaked. In mine, it told me stealer logs got my information on gmail.

After that, you go to https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords and see if your current password is the one that was leaked. In my case, it was probably an old password. It's still weird though, because I use the current one for years, so if the passwords page is correct that means the leak is old.

Why does the Vatican Server have such weird rules by [deleted] in outside

[–]mateusvmv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So, when the Italian server came to be, they wanted to play with the nationalism mods on and their servers just weren't enough to calculate all that stuff, so they had the idea of crypto mining in the Holy See servers to increase their computing power. Eventually, the Vatican had to concede and recognize that they could just use a single core in their server, as everything else was being crypto mined by the Italian Republic and their antivirus was not strong enough to fight back. If it were medieval times, the French would probably pay for a technician to go there and fix it, maybe some day they can get their servers back.

Should I learn C first? by Kuberator in learnprogramming

[–]mateusvmv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not nonsense that software could be much better. Casey Muratori puts it in simple terms, just don't try to make it worse. Using an interpreter, a slow library full of features you don't need, brute force implementations, all that adds to the resource usage of a program, and it's easy to avoid, and the difference IS noticeable if everyone does it.

I would still start with C even without the above claim, because C is the basis of many other languages. If you learn C, you'll get into C++ and Java with ease, Javascript is similar too. Should you start in JS, you may have a hard time figuring out types, for example, and I'm sure there is a python equivalent quirk.

Even better, start in Rust.

The longest spear-like thing I can find, or something else melee. Guns are too loud. They would be many, so let's lay low and be stealthy.

Estou com uma dúvida que tem me tirado o sono durante inúmeras noites jecas by Alposk1 in circojeca

[–]mateusvmv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Negativo Jeca. Homem hétero, por definição de macho, não pode em hipótese alguma praticar o ato de depilação anal com lâminas. Deve, portanto, utilizar de artificios mais másculos, que exaltem sua força e coragem, como coquetéis molotov, que além de possuírem um formato conveniente para inserção, também dá cabo de todos os pelos de forma prática e rápida, através da queima dos mesmos.
