Use EICAR test strings as passwords so when the password is stored as plain text the antivirus software will delete the file.

fun fact, "commas" does not require an apostrophe
I'm watching the collective knowledge of my civilization crumble and I'm powerless to stop it
If you have to ask Grok .... : /
I have a urge to create a lemmy equivalent of grok now
Commas might be the comma's property. Step off.
Yeah, but look at how many extra comments that generates. I'm starting to think that intentionally bad grammar is sometimes a good social media tactic to create engagement on top of what you're already doing, but I'm not excluding people being just plain illiterate.
Interesting... I wrote a gag comment about using an SQL injection as my password and crashed the Lemmy API. Using connect if that makes any difference.
noice! Did the '; DROP TABLE USERS;' respond?
Almost line for line. A wall of XML popped up when I hit submit. Looks like yours went through.
SQL injection in the big 2025...
Friend, we're still seeing publicly exposed plaintext credentials in 2025...
I haven't kept up with the cybersecurity world recently. Ever since I graduated I've just been completely fed up with IT. Is there a story behind this? Has a major service done this lately?
Don't add apostrophes to make words plural, that's not how it works.
Until next time
They had to put a comma in there somewhere. Even of it was in the wrong place and upside down.
How* it works
Until next time
Hey everyone! Look at @Fridgeratr@lemmy.dbzer0.com! They're human after all!
(We all have made basic and advanced mistakes. It happens. =))
It works like that in Dutch though. For example in Dutch the plural form for “baby” is “baby’s“
So the person who made this meme probably speaks Dutch.
add apostrophes to your meme to reduce clarity
Add comma's
Add commas what?
Adding an apostrophe makes the s possessive
The apostrophe is to announce that the next letter will be an 'S'!
You're possessed by a GrammarNazi spirit!
It's OK for people to be offended by lazy editing. This isn't a language barrier problem, which would be an acceptable excuse. This is lack of attention.
Not really, it is sad to expect perfect grammar on a casual forum. People are usually posting/commenting here inbetween other stuff.
Real life > social media.
Someone who's too lazy to perform basic grammar checking before posting a meme is a lazy person, period. That lack of concern about the quality of your work is never isolated to just "a casual forum". But thanks for your reply. Have a day.
Different languages have different rules for making words plural. Dutch, for instance, requires an apostrophe for a lot of them. (een komma, twee komma's), so a mistake is quickly made.
To err is human, still... Are you able to type 100% faultlessly in your second or third language?
Thanks to my password manager, commas are among the more tame characters that occur in my passwords.
Hm, now you're making me wonder how feasible it would be to use Emojis in my passwords...
Should work alright if the server handles Unicode correctly, and isn't one of those ass sites that put restrictions on the password's length and composition. Hashing functions don't even care if you're feeding them raw binary.
I.. I hope my passwords are hashed and salted long before they reach the server, so the way it handles unicode shouldn't affect it all that much. The logistical issue I was seeing with emojis was more that some of them look the same but have different Unicodes alltogether, so typing in the same emoji across devices might be tricky if their keyboards default to different codes.
Passwords are typically sent to the server and hashed there. I'm a bit hazy right now on the implications of client-side hashing, but it would likely present some security problems.
Edit: at the least, it would allow an attacker to use a leaked password database to log in to the sites, sidestepping the whole hashing thing.
There are protocols that send a hashed or encrypted password instead of plaintext, but they're more complex than just hashing. Iirc they involve a challenge-and-response method.
Oooh hashed and SALTED! I kept peppering the passwords that get sent to my server. Now all I need is to clean up the mess and the mold that all those hash browns leave behind.
Sadly, no. CSV files can deal with embedded commas via quoting or escaping. Given that most of the dumps are going to be put together and consumed via common libraries (e.g.python's csv module), that's all going to happen automagically.
Can be != will be
You're looping over 50M records, extracting into your csv. Did you bother using the appropriate library, or did your little perl script just do split(/,/,$line)
What about quotes (single/double) and \s mixed with commas?
Everything you can use for a password can be escaped out of a csv. Partially because csvs have to be interoperable with databases for a bunch of different reasons, and databases are where your passwords are stored (though ideally not in plaintext). There's no way that I can think of to poison your password for a data breach that wouldn't also poison the password database for the service you're trying to log into.
Pass","words","Are","fun","\n
Fuck that csv All the way up.
A perspective from someone who red teams for a living:
If I encounter a password like that, I'm probably going to pay special attention to your account among the millions. Commas dont stop most people from being weak to password permutations either.
If you're manually checking the 12 million username password pairs in the leaked database you aren't really going to breach many accounts before people update their passwords, are you?
intermix the , and the ; as well, in case the CSV uses a different separator.
What if it's exported as a tsv?
I think Python csv would save that as "Pass\",\"words\",\"Are\",\"fun\",\"\\n" and then it would be read by Excel / LibreOffice / Python csv as expected.
Comma, single quote, double quote, escape last \ and all your cases are covered.
