So, a brute force password attack would mean trying every combination of keys until you hit upon the proper combination for a password.
Here’s the stupidest, but cool in a bloody-minded sort of way, use a possible OpenSCAD randomizing function:
A script that generates a pile of random keys so you can brute force attack a lock.1
A quick google search tells me that OpenSCAD doesn’t have a random number generator. That’s a bit of a bummer. I was just thinking how cool it would be to have an OpenSCAD file that would give you little variations on itself every time you generated an STL. I’m thinking snowflakes, giant fingerprints, and other things that have a little bit of chance and chaos built in.
Or, perhaps some kind of Mad Libs-esque system where you tell it to create an alien or monster figure and you get a random number of eyes, heads, noses, arms, legs, and tails.
Now, I figure with CloudSCAD it wouldn’t be terribly difficult to add a little bit of javascript that can include a random number with given parameters… So, it’s at least possible.
The fear of rabbit sweaters.
For a totally different website I have a client whose representative only e-mails me USING ALL CAPS. I cannot imagine what would possess someone to want to communicate like that. Sure, I could just put up with it – but it is so so so difficult to read. Last week I ended up responding to his e-mail with a polite phone call, answered his question, then asked for a small favor – to QUIT E-MAILING ME IN ALL CAPS.
