    So take a look at Our security auditor is an idiot. How do I give him the information he wants?[^]. It smacks of a new broom out of his depth (the Auditor) to me. No way he'd get any of the available information from me.

        :wtf: Reading this exchange, it seems that everybody else is an idiot and only he is right. Are they sure he's an auditor and not just a really lazy phisher?

              I thought that but on reflection there must have been some prior relationship for the whole email exchange to have started. Or I would hope so, anyway.

                    Kind of dumb really as passwords are generally stored in a one way encryption format so that it is impossible to get a list of decrypted passwords. Or am I as dumb as the auditor?

                            Kind of, but not really. It's more like scrambling than encryption (the "scrambled" password can never be recovered, as all the data is not maintained in the scrambling process). It's called "cryptographic hashing".

                                  With such a small company, it's possible that they were set up for the singular purpose of getting those usernames/passwords. :~ Also, it's funny that he explained that he forgot he called the guy an idiot and he asked how to troll the guy from the same question he sent the guy a link to (surely that guy would have come back to read that).

                                    I don't think that can be true. You don't even respond to someone who emails "Would you mind awfully if I audited your systems" unless there is some prior relationship.

                                    Agreed, although I always read those 20 things to do before you hit 'Send' and then proceed to ignore them when I get my wild up with someone. :)

                                      So take a look at Our security auditor is an idiot. How do I give him the information he wants?[^]. It smacks of a new broom out of his depth (the Auditor) to me. No way he'd get any of the available information from me.

                                      Mr Auditor wants him to crack all passwords quickly? :confused: Or he was hoping they would be stored in plain-text? (dude this isn't the 90's anymore) Oh well, here's to hoping his company soon goes out of business :beer:

                                        You are exactly correct. Of course, I'm not going to say which part of your message that refers to. :laugh:
