How Tiny Delays Reveal Your Password 😨

Nobody stores passwords in plaintext to even compare them character by character like this. Everything is salted hash. This is some cool story bro from the early internet.

honestly yet to see a website that does this

Yep it’s called a side channel. Common defenses include only allowing so many guesses and hashing the password, which should be done for independent reasons anyway

They quickly patched this by programming a random delay to every attempted entry.

I knew this little chinchila was evil. But yeah, this was a thing back in extremely early internet days.

Ik I'm taking the bait but this is such bullshit😂

The suspiciously long list of failed attempted logins from the same IP adress

Bullsh*t

The computer is entirely superfluous, it's the hacker chinchilla that is the real secret behind it.
