Code Challenges

-
As a developer or casual programmer, it's important to challenge yourself on a regular basic. You might be working at a company were you're locked/stock on a single project for years or you might be a casual programmer who havent coded anything else then what you did when learning to code weeks or even months ago.

To ensure that you keep evolving and that you're able to solve even more complex problems it important that you seek problems to solve from time to time. One of my personal favorite sites is https://coderbyte.com/. With more than 200 challenges that you can solve in 10 diferent programming languages you will have challenges to solve for quite a while. A disclaimer is however that not all challenges are free and you will have to pay for getting access to all of them.

Python Password Hashing (Bcrypt)

A hash is designed to act as ”one-way-function” making it easy to perform but very hard to reverse. The reason why this is so beneficial when it comes to password managing and login handling, is because it allows the developers to convert the original password into a unique phrase that can be stored in the database. By using a hash function the application don’t have to match the original password in clear text with the password given upon login as it does not know what that password is. Instead it only need to know what hashing function where used and then see if the password entered generates the same hash value as the one saved in the database. This little trick provides the same login functionality as when all passwords were in clear text but the difference here is that now it’s only the user who knows exactly what the password is. Is Hashing flawless? However this technique is not flawless, as nothing is really secure when it comes to Information Security. Since the has...
