Whats to stop the Checksum Calculator part of this site from adding your text (ie passwords) hashes to their dictionaries?<p><a href="https://defuse.ca/checksums.htm#checksums" rel="nofollow">https://defuse.ca/checksums.htm#checksums</a><p>I know the site says it doesnt record the information, but is there any more assurance beyond that?
The download using Mega looks interesting. Seems that it is using the HTML5 FileSystem API to first download the file to a temporary location, without even showing a browser download dialog to the user.<p>Someone created a thread on stackoverflow about this, but unfortunately it was closed: <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14923098/how-does-mega-co-nzs-download-manager-work" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14923098/how-does-mega-co...</a>
I am downloading the file now. I was a little surprised to see that you went with gzip. Given the target audience it is not that hard to imagine that the end user will have access to bzip2 or xz. With the size of the file why choose gzip? Hopefully `gzip -9` was used. I am curious about how much smaller xz/bzip2 will be. I will update this post once the file is downloaded.
What I've found common among publicly available dictionaries is the lack of space characters and I've seen a couple of write-ups where people actively strip space characters when creating dictionaries.
Because of this most all my passwords contain a space character, and so far it's yet to cause me any problems.
Sorry for the slowness and timeouts, everyone. I really underestimated the number of people who would want the file.<p>Here's a torrent:<p><a href="https://thepiratebay.se/torrent/8159583" rel="nofollow">https://thepiratebay.se/torrent/8159583</a>
