If you're not looking to give your password to this site, I built a rails app with similar intentions:

git clone git@bitbucket.org:tommyvyo/linked-in-password-searcher.git

rake db:migrate rake db:seed (this will take a while if you use the default of sqlite3) rails s open localhost:3000

Now there's a great idea! Provide your password to some random site purporting to check if your password's been compromised.

In other news I have a startup on credit card security Just submit your credit card number, CVV2 and expiration date and it'll check if it has been stolen over the internet for you

Mine was not in the list. I had a non-dictionary password with letters and numbers, 8 characters, and it was at least several months old. (If we can collect enough data points of whose passwords are on it or not, how old they are, and how complex the password was, we should be able to narrow down a potential date range for the list and the odds that the compromised list is full or partial.)

You're confusing "not on the list" with "not in the hacker's possession".

Don't all the hashes listed have "c3dxxxxx" at the end. They to me, at a glance, look like a partial.

Not necessarily. There are two possibilities we can analyze: 1. "not on the list" means "not in the hacker's possession". In other words, the compromised list is partial. 2. "not on the list" means hacker already has cracked it and didn't post for help. Learning more about the kinds of passwords not on the list could help us determine which scenario is more likely. (If lots of complex passwords are not on the list, t…

As I understand it they zeroed out the start of the hashes they've already cracked (that's the speculation). I'm assuming that's being checked for server side?

According to LI they started salting at some point. Simple hashing obviously won't match in that case but I guess the crackers have the salts so they can do the leg work themselves.

Annoyingly LI say that they've invalidated passwords on compromised accounts but I can see that's not the case. My password hash is in the list (random 20 char pw) but they didn't deactivate my password (I've obviously changed it now).

I wrote a Rails app that does the same thing. If you don't trust this site you can checkout the source to my app (in app/controllers/searcher.rb) and then try it out yourself.

You can clone it from bitbucket (including the SHA1.TXT file)

from (https://bitbucket.org/tommyvyo/linked-in-password-searcher).

setup: rake db:migrate rake db:seed (this will take a while) rails server open http://localhost:3000

I'm not worried, mine is "Social"

Now just send phising emails with fake reset links to your targets at the same time. Password reset should be enforced at first login.

Ah yes, didn't consider that...you are correct--reset should be forced on login. Though I doubt any of the above will happen. Wouldn't want the user to be inconvenienced now would we?

Wait till it gets more publicity.

Or call shasum or sha1sum and input your password on stdin so your shell history doesn't contain your password in plain text.

Just pop a space at the beginning and it won't go into shell history.

It does for me
