keepassxc
KeePassXC is a cross-platform community-driven port of the Windows application “Keepass Password Safe”.
Project mention: Passkey marketing is lying to you (it's simple) | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-04Oof, I found a whole ton of anti-open-source-software quotes on the related Github issue https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10406 :
> When required, the authenticator must perform user verification (PIN, biometric, or some other unlock mechanism). If this is not possible, the authenticator should not handle the request.
> [A passkey provider certification process] is currently being defined and is almost complete.
> This implementation is not spec compliant and has the potential to be blocked by relying parties.
> Then you should require its use when passkeys are enabled ... [You may be blocked because] you have a passkey provider that is known to not be spec compliant.
> I suspect we'll see [biometrics] required by regulation in some geo-regions.
> I see a lot of misinformation and incorrect guesses about the intentions of various parties in the recent threads. If it would be helpful, I'm willing to have a [private, non-public] call with interested parties to try and answer some of the questions that have been raised to ensure we have a common technical understanding of FIDO/WebAuthn.
I felt reasonably positive about Passkeys while writing this blog post, but continuing to read the spec authors' insistence that only Big Tech may handle these problems is extremely worrying. I really want to like this feature, but the authors are acting like complete jerks and driving me away.

Project mention: Cracking an old ZIP file to help open source the ANC's "Vula" secret crypto code | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-07
The author kindly modified bkcrack based on Tim's fuzzy recollection of what he thought he might have chosen for the password: https://github.com/kimci86/bkcrack/pull/56 and https://github.com/kimci86/bkcrack/pull/126. However, I ran out of time to work on this part and it seemed more important to get the actual code running.
Also, in the course of things I discovered that Tim used PKZIP inside the BASIC code using a password that used non-printing characters.
