#478 Ball and Chain: Hashing is Dead, Long Live the Password

Ball and Chain offers the possibility of perfect security for even the weakest of passwords. For far too long, password breaches have plagued the information technology industry. For far too long, the strength of a user’s credentials has been dependent on the complexity of the plaintext password. For far too long, algorithmic cost has plague the adoption of slow hashing algorithms. Ball and Chain makes use of a vulnerability in the process of a malicious attacker. Ball and Chain can make password breaches a thing of the past. Ball and Chain can make password policies a thing of the past. Ball and Chain can push us towards a safer, smarter, lighter web.
