Re: [Pharo-users] Validate password with PBKDF2

Francis, The hashpw function returns a hash with the salt prepended. So it contains both elements. (See for example explanation at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27413248/why-can-bcrypt-hashpw-be-used-both-for-hashing-and-verifying-passwords). You can do the same thing here. Assuming you

Re: [Pharo-users] Validate password with PBKDF2

Francis, You're using an empty salt when creating the hash. Just prepending a random number does not add much security. Anyone knowing your solution will just prepend a random number. And creating only a few accounts in your system will probably reveal that information as well. A wrong-doer will j

[Pharo-users] TestCases and forked processes in TestResource don't play well

Hi Denis, Thanks for the fast response. When you say proper fix, do you mean a general fix for all TestResources or do you mean the fix for my situation? I can't oversee (yet) what the effect will be of halt/debug code inside the web application (TestResource) which is the subject of the TestCas
