*clears throat*
It's been a month since I published an article... so today I published two! One is available now for everyone, the other one is patrons-only for a week.


In our first episode, we review Veronica Mars (Season 1), try to recreate a high school computer network, and use tools from 2004 to crack student passwords.
Available now for everyone: https://fasterthanli.me/series/tech-as-seen-on-tv/part-1

An 86-minute journey into "cracking" MD5 hashes with Rust â with brute force, exhaustive hash table, and rainbow tables. We use rayon and memmap!

If you're not able to pay for the $10/month tier, and you really need a distraction right now, just DM me â I'm happy to send you a friend link to the latest article.

Thanks so much for your support: actually getting paid to write these gives me all the justification I need to put in a lot more effort into each article.

By the way! These two articles use the new asset pipeline I talked about in this thread: https://twitter.com/fasterthanlime/status/1317846384071016449
