Q: generating "non-dictionary" numeric passcodes

In case of numeric passcodes, e.g. for numeric locks on doors etc, anyone can agree "poor passwords" are ones with specific pattern, e.g. 1234, 1111, 2468, 1122, etc. (as well as ones that form a clear graphical pattern on the keypad, e.g. "cross", 159-357) If I want to generate a lot of random ...

Another example of a badly migrated post...

Doorknob

because it was migrated from Sec.SE

@Doorknob thx bb

There was something migrated like that yesterday too I think

This is more of a "code golf" problem than an InfoSec problem. — schroeder 8 mins ago

It is not a code golf problem.

It's a code golf problem in that it's on this site and has problems.

I love how they migrated it away from the correct site.

Permission? Bah. That could be a decent code golf, given interesting rules on exclusion. Better to ask for forgiveness.

Calvin's Hobbies

@AlexA. Couldn't Malty post a new appropriate challenge on the topic?

Alex A.

@Maltysen You're welcome to develop an idea based on this guy's deeply rooted issues and write it into a challenge. But don't edit the post into a challenge.

@Calvin'sHobbies See above ^

Maltysen

oh ok

Geobits

Not that that's much of an option since it's locked :D

Alex A.

Oh, didn't realize.

Well then I can say with authority that you aren't allowed to edit it. (Because it isn't possible.)

Calvin's Hobbies

Locked, protected, closed (= on hold?), deleted, migrated .. so many flags

Alex A.

@Calvin'sHobbies A post is "on hold" for a while but becomes closed after some period of time.

Maltysen

how about a truthy/falsey golf, disallowing numbers that are all the same digit, 2 of the same and 2 of the same, linear, and physical lines on a keypad.

Probably not, but... @Doorknob? ^

@Maltysen If the OP has an actual problem he wants to solve, asking for help via a code golf contest is guaranteed to produce the worst possible solutions to the problem.

Why do > quotes work for replies but not pings :/

Doorknob

@Calvin'sHobbies No kind of onebox works with a ping.

(a quote is sort of a form of oneboxing)

Calvin's Hobbies

They could make a special case for that when the ping is at the start

Or they could save themselves the trouble and not do that

@Geobits If you infect your browser with Emacs, the scrollbar would be on the wrong side. So at least there's that.

If there's anything worse than vim, it's emacs.

Alex A.

I can honestly never remember how to quit Emacs.

Geobits

Or maybe that's the other way around. I can never remember.

Alex A.

I always either have to look it up or force quit the terminal.

Q: Generate Some Secure PINs

Inspired by this badly received migrated post. The head of security at your company is concerned about your PIN generating system after it gave him 12345.

Alex A.

Haha

@Geobits This one is awful

Geobits

No, PETA is awful :P

Alex A.

My girlfriend's theory is that PETA was created by the meat industry to make people shame vegetarians.

I'm sure that isn't true, but still, PETA sucks.

We need an equivalent organization PETV to supports vegetable rights. Those PETA folk don't mind slaughtering them by the millions.

@Optimizer From my small experience watching ghost hunter shows, they are active until there is camera around. At that point they change to "only make spooky noises and move things around just barely enough to be mistaken for a little wind" mode.

@SvenTheSurfer unless its a UV camera, in which, they are completely caught doing all those things

@Clearquestionwithexamples We've gone over this before...

Speaking of that, I feel like the scoring is a bit to weighted. Maybe make the cop's challenge a power of 2 and robber's challenge linear?

flawr

@AlexA. No I havent yet.

@VTCAKAVSMoACE Why? Most of esolangs is malarky anyway. (Thanks to Band of Brothers for letting me know what 'malarky' is.)

VTCAKAVSMoACE

Why does putting on a bounty make the question say "Modified by <user> at <so and so time>"?

minxomat

@VTCAKAVSMoACE Because it is not in the original state anymore.

VTCAKAVSMoACE

7:38 PM

@flawr Oh - the rows were mixed. x refers to <>, not ><, and o refers to ><, not <>, of which the opposite was in the wiki. I edited the wiki for correctness.
