    Audio Editor

  • The use of this telemetry is against Debian package standards, do it would be turned off, which it is by default when compiling. The Devs already responded here https://github.com/audacity/audacity/discussions/889

  • scrypt

    The scrypt key derivation function was originally developed for use in the Tarsnap online backup system and is designed to be far more secure against hardware brute-force attacks than alternative functions such as PBKDF2 or bcrypt.

  • It entirely does and that's exactly my point. Most "hashes" are designed to be fast, for data validation/checking whatever. For securing data (passwords, anonymisation, etc) you want a "hash" to be as slow as possible. Scrypt for example is designed to be extremely slow and use much memory (making GPU-based parallelisation useless and driving up the cost of CPU-based work). The default settings for five-second hashes changes their 18 hour estimate to a bit over two years... and that's assuming you don't turn it up further.
