“The password generator included in Kaspersky Password Manager had several problems. The most critical one is that it used a PRNG not suited for cryptographic purposes. Its single source of entropy was the current time. All the passwords it created could be bruteforced in seconds.”

They used math.random() on the web version y’all. This is a “security” company. I’m speechless.

@aral :blobcatgooglytrash: Kaspersky proves their incompetence again

@aral I would also recommend reading some articles about it here: palant.info/categories/kaspers. It's funny how a security company can fail that bad

@aral Glad I'm using
```< /dev/random tr -d -c "[:graph:]"``` with enough entropy for gerenation of my passwords.

@bob Ironically ;)

@bob Ah, I thought it was a reply to the other thread.
So less ironic but still, not sure why it’s not showing up.

@aral @bob I think this is related to CDNs, possibly HTTP 1.1, and webserver caching on Mastodon. Like the avatar update problem, I spent a lot of time investigating it, but found nothing which wasn't compliant.
