Encrapted Passwords
Learned a new term today going through 19 Deadly Sins of Software Security. They give an example of a URL containing a strange looking id parameter:
1 | www.xyzzy.com?id=TXkkZWNyZStwQSQkdzByRA== |
Turns out a simple run through a base64 decoder for gives you:
1 | My$ecre+pA$$w0rD |
The authors then refer to this as an “encrapted” password.
