I’m not really afraid of copiers, of course, but after seeing this I started to wonder how many people photocopy personal documents in places like Office Depot, Office Max, and the like? This goes far beyond companies copying business documents. Since the news cast was from a year ago, hopefully companies have started taking measures to prevent this sort of thing happening in the future.
Just insane how easy it is to steal someone’s identity.
This bit of code is something I came up with a few years ago. I was trying to come up with a way to generate passwords and secure database names when I decided to build a function to do it for me. Basically, it takes your input, hashes it, then suggests potential passwords or database names.
I have no illusions that this is the most groundbreaking code snippet out there, but hopefully it will be of some use to people.
Since creating the original ASP function, I have made a PHP version of it as well.
