Interesting part

• Elections for 2015–2016

• Root passwords
  • grantwu has C code that uses OpenSSL to calculate SHA512 (SHA256 also available)
  • Have discovered this is not actually very useful.
  • Hashing is (relatively) trivial. Just use a script that calls OpenSSL.
  • Questions that actually are hard:
    • How are we distributing the passwords?
    • Using output of hash as password, or directly putting hash into /etc/shadow?
    • How long should individual passwords be? How should we encode them?
    • How are we going to use them on a daily basis? Do we call the script and copy paste? Memorize?
