Don't understand what you're talking about.

Well, me and a coworker came across a database with password hashes. Roughly 15% matched the hashes of one of the top 50 most common passwords. -.-

How could the hashes match those of the top 50% most common passwords?
Either you or I just moved into the 15%. And unless all the salts were the same, or your talking simple bit shifting or unsalted hashing(both a crime), I'm suggesting it's you.....

Of which the developers of said database must surely be included since it would seem they neglected to apply any random salt when generating said hashes. Otherwise, there's no way you could have ran the comparison ;-)

I thought I said that....But no. It could have been considered inferred though!

Sorry... is this thread still opened? I've missed a lot of recent posts, but I thought it was clear all the people was complaining about the moderator who opened it, and that this was a very annoying thread......
..
I vote to close this thread and ban the moderator who started all this ****. Don't know where he wanted to sink this boat.

I agree. It was Kesa wot stated it. Ban him I say..Ban him
