I set my root users without a password so hackers can't see the password!

i like putting a comma in the middle of my password so when they export it out in csv, it separates the password into a new line and probably messes everyone of their passwords on that list from then on.
If your password looks like an md5 hash they'll try to dehash it and if they're successful they'll be wrong
*Uses the hash of "password 1" as password
And a \n.
ahh yes, ty
Does this actually work?
typically, password lists/hashes are exported out to csv (comma seperated value) because the lists are generally long and the file is too large to open in any other table format that isnt ascii.
Adding a comma will seperate the password into a new column. However, as @ShortFuse@lemmy.world pointed out, you need to use \n for a new line.
So it would be : Passw,\nord ?
Little Bobby Tables, is that you?
Nice xkcd reference
Pro gamer move is to set your password as eight asterisks and a space at the end
uuuuhhh...Leading/trailing space. Almost as evil as the other comment who said to place a "," inbetween to fuck with the CSV.
Doesn’t look like it’s hunter2.
Doesn't look like it's what? All I see is *******
