So you might have a script that does stuff as a library, and it should get environment variables and other info from the calling script. You use the same script for doing one off stuff on different computers.

So you make it do something slightly different or make it set it's path and look into the current folder when you run it directly. This change in logic could be in a few points in the script.

    This is not what he meant. If the password is xyz he stores the hash (f*) for xyz and xy. When you change your password to xyb, it compares fxyz to the first saved hash and a truncated fxy to the second saved hash, flagging if you've only changed the last character. The mask length could be arbitrary and there can be many saved hashes at the expense of making password resets slow.

    Yeah sure, but when do you stop gathering regularly constructed data, when your goal is to grab as much as possible?

    Markov chains are an amazingly simple way to generate data like this, and a little bit of stacked logic it's going to be indistinguishable from real large data sets.

    I found this advertisement placard in a vinyl album, and decided to play the card.
