  • 15:5815:58, 30 May 2024 diff hist +494‎ PKCS ‎ PKCS5 canonical reference: page says access denied, and IA's Wayback Machine shows it has been saying this since around 2016. Unfortunately the actual documents were on a now-long-dead FTP drive that IA did not capture, so the archived canonical page isn't worth much and so I've added another reference to the actual document (thanks to Alexandre Dulaunoy for hosting it!) current
  • 15:3715:37, 30 May 2024 diff hist +5‎ PBKDF2 ‎ Cited source does not say it's only slightly better, even at a weak bcrypt cost=5 which I have never seen anyone use. Change wording from "slightly" to "significantly" to reflect the source better. Besides, algorithms' absolute hash rate (as the source speaks of) are a matter of configuration and say nothing about their quality; rather, the speedup an attacker gets compared to a regular system is the primary quality. Don't have time for a bigger edit though, so if someone wants to... current

  • 17:1717:17, 18 May 2023 diff hist +24‎ QoS Class Identifier ‎ V2X was not explained anywhere in the article. This seems like a table cell with sufficient space. Source of the expansion is another article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle-to-everything

  • 01:3401:34, 5 December 2021 diff hist −58‎ SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant ‎ not found in citation. The article specifically says that one got it from a conference and the other from the one. The word Africa doesn't even occur in the source, let alone that it says (the highly ironical claim) that they were there to obtain samples. Was this a joke of the editor?

  • 16:3616:36, 12 August 2021 diff hist +155‎ Reykjanesbær ‎ Mention that it's not only a municipality but also refers to the combined built-up area. When I 'corrected' the type of place from city to municipality on openstreetmap, a local was quick to correct me

  • 02:4402:44, 1 November 2020 diff hist +1,711‎ Bladeless fan ‎ Add some actual airflow measurements to the article in the Performance section. The number 1 question from anyone looking into this topic is whether there is any (technical) point to this design or if it's purely an aesthetic gimmick, but there is precious little data to be had other than their marketing material (which I suppose won't be completely fabricated, but still). Added data from a review performed by geek.com in 2014, the only complete data I could find (of any model).

  • 16:3516:35, 22 September 2020 diff hist +99‎ Auto-defrost ‎ The air inside heating up during auto-defrost seems to be a common misconception. If you own a no-frost freezer, note how the fan is usually running but sometimes not. This 'sometimes' is while it's heating. Air temp in the food compartment should be within 1-2°C of target, also during defrosting, according to a mechanic from our freezer's manufacturer. This is corroborated by EU Directive 89/108/EEC which states -18°C must be maintained within a tolerance of 3°C.

19 August 2020

  • 20:2320:23, 19 August 2020 diff hist +84‎ Hutter Prize ‎ Clarified some missing info. The article leads with that the competition is about compressing a 1GB file, so a record of ~16MB in some August seemed huge, but really that was August 2006 after the initial launch with only 100MB to compress.

13 August 2020

  • 21:5321:53, 13 August 2020 diff hist −117‎ Tabnabbing ‎ Remove fake lookalike reference (external link to a blog in the references without using it in the article) which was added by an IP editor Tag: Manual revert
  • 21:1821:18, 13 August 2020 diff hist +1,779‎ Paracetamol ‎ Add a review of research on the effects of taking paracetamol on an empty stomach. (I had a hard time finding trustworthy information and eventually resorted to scientific papers, where I don't think most people would look. There were also some incorrect opinions presented as facts on sites like Quora, as expected... A good overview on Wikipedia should be beneficial.)

  • 23:2023:20, 21 November 2019 diff hist +283‎ OpenText Data Protector ‎ The current version is written like an advertisement. Removed a few marketing words about mission-critical systems to make it more objective, and added information about the vulnerabilities for which the HP Data "Protector" is known.

30 June 2019

  • 20:5020:50, 30 June 2019 diff hist +171‎ Daniel Suarez (author) ‎ Indicate that the latest book is not stand-alone (this is not mentioned on the official website, but makes sense given that it's fairly open-ended, and Daniel seems to go along with the host's mention of it being the start of a trilogy)

29 March 2019

  • 08:2208:22, 29 March 2019 diff hist +480‎ .NET ‎ Despite claiming to embrace free and open source, they do tracking (unconventional for FOSS/libre software). Added a small sentence to mention that, a few links that mention the terminal output, and the relevant EULA and privacy policy.

  • 12:5612:56, 13 October 2018 diff hist +2,389‎ Pepper (cryptography) ‎ The citation cited another paper from 1996, where a pepper is indeed a tossed value, but this definition is very outdated. In 1996, password hashing was barely a thing. Password storage is a fast-moving field when compared to cryptography in general and practices change every five to ten years. Password storage functions ("slow hashes") are now common and achieve the same goal more efficiently than tossed secrets. These days, in the context of hashing, pepper is unambiguously a secret input.

  • 01:1101:11, 20 September 2018 diff hist +259‎ Tabnabbing ‎ As a security consultant who never heard of this in 2018 (it was mentioned among bogus vulnerability reports that a popular website receives, where the reporter asks for bug bounties), I think it's fair to say this is not a widespread attack. If anyone disagrees, since it's hard to prove a negative, please prove the positive and show us that it is actually commonly exploited.
  • 01:0601:06, 20 September 2018 diff hist +17‎ Tabnabbing ‎ The attacker still needs to lure the victim, so it's not true that the user does not need to click an attacker's URL. The rest of the article was also slightly inaccurate or not very well explained (e.g. no scripts are needed, as the article later admits, so I removed that word).

13 August 2018

  • 03:5703:57, 13 August 2018 diff hist +253‎ Planck mass ‎ Clarify what kind of unit it is. Planck is probably best known for the unit of length, known (somewhat incorrectly) as a fundamental lower bound, and some of his other units (such as Planck temperature) also constitute some boundary. His unit of mass, however, has no such purpose so that should be noted.
