Replying to a 10-year-old tweet is a power move in itself.
this is gold yet I don’t know anyone who would get it that I can share it with
I shared it to the memes group at work, as a developer
I wonder if you string together enough words can it be a valid key?
I would hope so, sentences and words are some of the most secure passwords/phrases you can use
Words are the least secure way to generate a password of a given length because you are limiting your character set to 26, and character N gives you information about the character at position N+1
The most secure way to generate a password is to uniformly pick bytes from the entire character set using a suitable form of entropy
Edit: for the dozens of people still feeling the need to reply to me: RSA keys are fixed length, and you don’t need to memorize them. Using a dictionary of words to create your own RSA key is intentionally kneecapping the security of the key.
so you are saying 44 bits of entropy is not enough. the whole point of the comic is, that 4 words out of a list of 2000 is more secure then some shorter password with leetcode and a number and punctuation at the end. which feels rather intuitive given that 4 words are way easier to remember
then someone uses a dictionary attack and your password gets cracked within minutes
see, you didn’t get the whole comic. 4 words out of a dicitionary with 2000 words has more combinations then a single uncommon non gibberish baseword with numeral and puction at the end. as long as the attacker knows your method.
a dicitonary attack will not lower the entropy of 44 bits, thats what the comic is trying to say
Burst a kidney please help
I genuinely LOL’d at this thank you OP.
While the joke is funny, what is the context? Why did she post the original tweet in the first place?
It’s lady gaga.
If you’ve followed her at all, even indirectly, this is NOT the weirdest thing she’s done, and bluntly, the weirder stuff wasn’t justified (to the public at least).
I’m not trying to throw shade at Gaga at all. Lady, let your freak flag fly all day long. You don’t need my permission to do it, but if you want it, you got it. Weird isn’t bad, it’s just weird.
IMO, at this point, gaga doesn’t need a reason to be weird.
