Htpasswd Generator Update: bcrypt, Adjustable Cost and Apache MD5

Tue, 06 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Our htpasswd generator now gives you a choice of bcrypt with an adjustable cost or Apache MD5 / APR1. Bcrypt is selected by default, with cost 10; costs 11 and 12 are available in Options. APR1 remains available when an existing server requires the older format.

This makes the tool useful both for setting up a new password-protected Apache directory and for maintaining an installation with specific compatibility requirements. You can generate an entry in your browser, copy it into an existing password file, or download it for installation on your server.

If you were using Google this past Saturday between 6:27 a.m. and 7:25 a.m. PST, chances are that you have been warned by the search engine that your search result “may harm your computer”. Trying another request couldn’t help and you soon realized that the whole Internet might have harmed your computer. If that’s no news for some of us, this might be a different story for Internet novices who think that Google is the Internet.

Sensational story or threatening Vista security hole ?

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0000

In what seems to be a sensational / tabloid article inspirationally named Vista’s Security Rendered Completely Useless by New Exploit, Neowin reports that “this week at the Black Hat Security Conference two security researchers will discuss their findings which could completely bring Windows Vista to its knees. Mark Dowd of IBM Internet Security Systems (ISS) and Alexander Sotirov, of VMware Inc. have discovered a technique that can be used to bypass all memory protection safeguards that Microsoft built into Windows Vista. These new methods have been used to get around Vista’s Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR), Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and other protections by loading malicious content through an active web browser. The researchers were able to load whatever content they wanted into any location they wished on a user’s machine using a variety of scripting languages, such as Java, ActiveX and even .NET objects. This feat was achieved by taking advantage of the way that Internet Explorer (and other browsers) handle active scripting in the Operating System.”
