message: I made Crime its own section instead of a subsection of Demographics, since demography is the study of populations, and the crime section is not. I also moved it further down the article, between media and infrastructure. However, there might be a better place for it.

message: This article makes special note of the dramatic loss of population of Detroit. But some other cities have had comparable or greater loss:
St. Louis: peak: 1950: 856,796; 2020: 301,578   That city in the 1970s had a greater % loss than any decade in Detroit's history.

message: Previous version stated:
"A misspelling of hierba Buena, or 'good herb' in Spanish. A marijuana reference."
Not quite. Yerba is indeed an alternative spelling of hierba in parts of Latin America, but yerbabuena or hierbabuena is actually mint.  If you're looking to get high when you buy "hierbabuena" chewing-gum in Mexico, you're going to be disappointed :-)   -- Infrogmation

message: When compared to the Everly Brothers, who often used the same session musicians, Orbison is credited with "a passionate intensity" that, according to The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock and Roll, made "his love, his life, and, indeed, the whole world [seem] to be coming to an end—not with a whimper, but an agonized, beautiful bang".
This is the kind of thing a very advanced algorithm produces these days. Apparently, you can't earn yourself an agonized bang recycling the tried and true. Or something to that effect—inscrutable to mere human comprehension. — MaxEnt 00:27, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Dictionary attack

message: decoller le culot
There is a practice often use in non-english speaker to avoid dictionary attack; as many applications take ASCII as an input, one would simply "see" keyboard in non-english layout and type in non-english "dictionary" word on English keyboard. for example, word "love" translate in Thai would be "ความรัก", by type in Thai word with american keyboard layout, one's password would be "8;k,iyd"
Should this informaiton be included in the article? Currently the article said "Dictionaries for most human languages (even those no longer used) are easily accessible on the Internet, meaning even the use of foreign words is practically useless in preventing dictionary attacks." It leads reader to the believe that dictionary attack is always possible if user use "dictionary" word in any language.underexpose 06:05, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Leet Speak and Passphrases 

message: It is very unfortunate that 'dictionary attack' seems to have entered the common language to describe the usage of a word list. This obviously comes from the analogy with real-world dictionaries, which are indeed word lists.
However, in the original sense (the one employed in the expression 'pre-computed dictionary', and the one relevant in the context of time-memory tradeoffs, like M. Hellman's tradeoff, or P. Oechslin's rainbow tables), the 'dictionary' metaphor does not refer to the idea of listing meaningful words, but rather to the idea of organizing a set of mappings (from hash to cleartext) in an ordered way (in this case, ordered by hash) so that it is possible to lookup an entry very quickly (O(log n)) even if the dictionary is enormous. This is a completely different concept; in terms of reach, the precomputed dictionary offers the same coverage as a traditional bruteforce attack, only trading memory usage for attack speed.
If it was possible to chose, everyone should probably use 'wordlist attack' for the first concept and 'dictionary attack' for the second. It's a shame that a staggeringly amount of online resources do not seem to understand the difference between these two techniques.
