IHDVGA (Inconveniently High Density VGA) extension lead.

IHDVGA was abandoned early on as keeping pins straight turned out more difficult than expected.

Most manufacturers still turned a profit by selling the leads without shells as convenent groundable wire brushes.

OMG. Apparently tons of people have been generating secrets on an old server-side key generation website that had incredibly weak entropy. Like, 10 bits or something.

The website was allkeysgenerator[.]com. Here is a dump of 1000 keys generated on it. Searching for the URL finds hundreds of people recommending it for key generation.

Some of these snippets have hundreds of GitHub results.

The exact algorithm is unknown but (see below) It generates extremely predictable strings, you can visually see how the delta from character to character is almost constant. Thanks @dramforever for doing some analysis here. Their script here can generate the vast majority of sequences from this website.

Update: This script generates the entire list from a single seed, and large chunks of another.

I'm certain you can break into production websites using these keys for cookie signing etc.

Any #php devs looking for a new gig?

Small inclusive/supportive company, good at the "life" bit of work/life balance

UK only, but remote with "1-day/mon in Bristol" encouraged - this frequency can be negotiated in either direction!

45k to 55k, pretty standard benefits

I'm on the ops side, but work very closely with this role - my DMs are open you have questions not answered by the job desc:

https://jobs.gohire.io/basekit-39beellt/back-end-php-developer-289056/

Applications "written by a human" very much preferred
