Re: Every V4 UUID
#142The fact that the search works impressed me more than anything. Of course, like every great magic trick, it seems so simple once it is explained. For the curious, here's the linked blog post describing how the project works: https://eieio.games/blog/writing-down-every-uuid/ Edit to add: I'd only tried searching for an exact UUID when I wrote this comment. I didn't realize it supports full text search! Now I'm even mo…
I'm really happy that the trick was magical to you - I was so surprised and delighted when I realized that this was possible, and I wasn't really sure if anyone else would feel the same way! And of course, I'm proud to be providing so much utility here - finally we can find and use UUIDs tailor-fit to our needs
Memorable UUIDs? I think you're on to something here! (Also, dibs on 00000000-0000-4321-abcd-000000000001!)

This is the biggest hack since every ATM PIN was leaked: https://pastebin.com/SmJRB8eQ
PINs can be up to 6 digits (at least here in the UK, but I doubt it's country specific), even though the ones they give you by default are only ever 4. So that's only a leak of 1% of them.
It helps, but only temporary. I wouldn't be surprised if all 6 digit PINs will be leaked within a few decades.
Re: Every V4 UUID
#144lol I misunderstood, I thought someone had searched for every domain name that happens to be a valid UUID
Re: Every V4 UUID
#145Very useful! I'll refer to it when I forget my UUIDs, I use this site all the time to remember my bitcoin private key [0] [0]: https://privatekeys.pw/keys/bitcoin/1
Nice one.
Random key: balance is zero.
Real key: balance is (now) zero

#146What percentage of the 100+ Zettabytes of data now on the internet does this page take up?

Mine too. Takes me back to when my password was leaked: https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists/pull/155
could we fix this by adding '\n' to the password? then it wouldn't be guessed, the hackers would just think it was the end of the password
That's why I put a newline in my username.
Re: Every V4 UUID
#148Tangentially related: HN recently (last few months) had an article explaining how large a number was. The number was something like busy beaver or 128 bit integers or something else. It illustrated how large the number was by creating activities you would do, incrementing the counter as you did them. The sequence went something like this: Walk, and every time you take a step. Add 1 After you have circled the earth, p…
The number you're thinking of is 52! (52 factorial) and how long it would take for 52! seconds to pass by. Vsauce has a great video on this, and might be where that example was taken from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObiqJzfyACM That example starts 16 minutes into the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObiqJzfyACM&t=964s But it's worth watching the whole thing.
And that number is relevant because it's the number of possible ordering of a standard deck of 52 cards. There are... a lot of them.

Does that not cause problems on some card machines? I've come across a few that definitely don't let you put in more than four digits.
That provides very valuable information: DO NOT TRUST this machine to be secure!
Similarly, any web site or app that can’t correctly handle a space character at the end of the password should never be trusted with anything of consequence.
Re: Every V4 UUID
#150Seems like some hacker leaked all UUIDs. Check if your UUIDs are part of the leak.
With the way things are at work right now I simply don't have time to mitigate this leak in my personal data security. I've officially given up.
