  • That is the correct way of thinking, never trust anything with your passwords.

    I was curious on what haveibeenpwned does, so I took a look at what the network tab in dev tools said what was actually sent. When I type a password (say password123) and press check it runs a function that hashes with the “SHA-1” hash function and then sends the first 5 characters of the result. The response is over a thousand lines in the format of 35 hash characters:number of breaches

    If any of these hashes are the start of your original hash, you now know it’s exposed and how many times it’s been exposed.





  • I agree, but our justice system has clearly failed us. It’s extremely frustrating, which is why a lot of us are very emotionally charged for this issue.

    I’m a complete hypocrite, as I believe justice should let some criminals walk free if it means no innocents are punished… but I also want the files unleashed. my guess is it’s because I know the people in there will be people I won’t like, but still extremely hypocritical and logically conflicting with my morals.
