Thanks for your feedback! :) I did take a long time to write (I didn't keep track of it, but I'll say somewhere between 20-30 hours in total), so I'm glad you enjoyed it!


If the patent is expired, why wouldn’t it be legal?


How is he getting the salt from the database?


this corresponds to sad scenario where the database itself is leaked and the attacker has access to it. the blog describes how the salt is stored as prefix to each hash.
