Blog - Two New Projects
Posted on: January 21, 2010 by Bren2010 - Permalink
Once again, I've finished a couple of new projects. These two are kind of entwined, hence, the same blog post.
First of all, this is a project I like to call POA (Password Obfuscation Algorithm). Basically what it does is turn a simple password (i.e. "pass1234") into a password somewhere around a seemingly random 100 character password. Some of you may be thinking how on Earth could you remember something like that, or wouldn't that be murder on MySQL tables? Firstly, it operates like a hash, with nothing random about it, so if you give it the same password, it will generate the same password. Secondly, it wasn't developed to be put in MySQL tables. It was developed to be used for encryption passwords, to make them all that much harder to break. It can even slow down the brute forcing of simple algorithms like XECrypt (which I've already posted an effective brute forcing program to break XECrypt fairly easy).
Secondly, the long awaited Bren2010 Encryption/Decryption Algorithm v.2.0 has finally been finished! In case you don't know, 2 is my favorite number, so I had to make an extra effort to ensure no low class script kiddies would be writing there own Python scripts to break it any time soon. So to protect this point, I've incorporated POA into it, not to mention encrypting it 3 times using varying methods. 
It's the closest I can come to my Eternity Code (an algorithm that, essentially, takes an eternity to crack). Unfortunately, Rijndael 256 encryption still holds the record of best encryption in many peoples mind. Perhaps in version 2.1, it could use Rijndael, as well as the other functions already in place?
Also, I apologize for finishing these before UStats, even though UStats is higher on my queue. What can I say, I like getting and giving information, but protecting it has always been a little more interesting.
Firstly, thank you to Brandy and Mary for posting on my blog! Whenever people seem not to want to use my code, it makes me paranoid that somethings wrong with it and no one will tell me.
Y'all would be nice enough to say something though right. . . right?!?
Secondly, I am SO pissed! Blake, the kid in my class who is always playing around, beat me in the classroom spelling bee, and bragged about it for a week. However, in the school wide spelling be he was second out, because of hawk. Even after listing to the definition (a f$@%&*# bird you moron), he spelled it "hock". There's not even an appropriate response to that. . .

And want to ask you: is this blog your hobby?
P.S. Sorry for my bad english
