Recommendation for password encryption?
by Mariano Martinez Peck Sept. 30, 2022

Sept. 30, 2022

Hi guys. Some time ago I asked about the best way to encrypt a password. Some of the recommendations I got was: 1) Generally for passwords you do not write a decrypt method for security purposes (eg you do not want people to be able to reverse engineer the encrypted password easily) 2) put a little salt 3) There is http://www.squeaksource.com/Cryptography/PasswordHashingFFI 4) I should not decrypt password but instead I should compare both encrypted versions to see if they are equal. My scenario is the following. I need to store database passwords in text files. So I don't want to let them as plain text. And while I understand 4), I think it's a different scenario than mine. I know that some database driver may allow you to directly send the encrypted password. But still...I have another similar scenario in which I have to store a password and then send it (unencrypted)...so I kind of really need a bi-directional encryption. Now..I would try to avoid having an external library + FFI. Any ideas what is the best thing I can do? And how could I solve 1) if I want bidirectional like in my case? Thanks in advance, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

'VOMongoConnectionError' when dowloading mcz from smalltalkhub.com
by Dale Henrichs Sept. 1, 2020

Sept. 1, 2020

SmalltalkHub mcz downloads are broken ... looks like a mongo server has gone down? .... I ran into this problem running production tests yesterday and today I find that while the smalltalkhub site is up, I cannot download an mcz file, using this url: http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/dkh/metacello/main/Metacello-Base-dkh.109.mcz. If you are not going to keep the current smalltalkhub site functional, why don't you switch to the static site and give those of us who DEPEND upon static access to mcz files a reliable site to connect to ... I have plans to move completely away from mcz files, but I didn't plan on doing that this week ... and frankly I don't have the cycles to do that ... right now ... Here's a screenshot of a manual login and navigation to the mcz file that is failing to download: And when I press the `Download .mcz` button, I get the following "response" after a delay:

OSProcess and CommandShell updated on GitHub for Pharo
by David T. Lewis Sept. 1, 2020

Sept. 1, 2020

These updates bring OSProcess/CommandShell up to date with the latest development versions, and include earlier fixes for Pharo by Max Leske. The repositories are at https://github.com/dtlewis290/OSProcess-Tonel https://github.com/dtlewis290/CommandShell-Tonel A new feature of possible interest is: OSProcess outputOf: 'ls -lR | wc -l' This is a convenience method that handles parsing, piping, and error handling for a unix-style command pipeline. Both OSProcess and CommandShell must be loaded. Any errors detected in the external commands will be displayed in a Pharo debugger, proceed through the debugger to obtain the final stdout result.
