I don't know who you think you are, but BrowserUk is no troll. Quite the contrary, he is one of our esteemed users, often going out of his way to help people. Maybe he should not have been so harsh to SyN/AcK, but he also didn't have the advantage of getting to know SyN/AcK like i slightly have. Having talked to SyN/AcK via private /msg, i learned well in advance what his intentions were before he posted this - to start a Network Security company.

Not knowing that (or not trusting that), it is very easy to see his intentions as nefarious. Very easy! Why didn't SyN/AcK title his post "Password cracking algorithm"? [update: title renamed] His title is was misleading ... when i saw it i thought he wanted to know where to find information on algorithms in general.

So, Mr. Anony ... what have you contributed to our Monastery besides troll bait? I do hope you are on your way out if continue to spew BS from your mouth. This is serious stuff - security is about as serious as it gets. Given that, i can't blame BrowserUk for playing devil's advocate ... somebody had to push that button to see what SyN/AcK's real intentions are.
