Tolchz.net

Several years ago I put up a /etc/passwd script that generates a passwd file full of random usernames with hashes of random floating point numbers for the password. You can see the script in action at http://tolchz.net/etc/passwd . Hit reload a few times to get the full effect.

I’ve recently found several forums that have “users” asking how to crack the passwd file found on my site….

American Site (The user seems to think it is a Windows password file)
German Site
Czech Site
Russian Site

While modifying a remote file with netrw under Windows I ran into a problem upon trying to write the file.

scp -q "VIMD72e7.tmp" "host:/path/to/file.txt"
VIMD7E7.tmp: No such file or directory
shell returned 1
Hit any key to close this window...

I think that this is a result of the autochdir option being set. My fix is to do a

:lcd $TEMP

in the buffer with the remote file loaded prior to writing the file. This lets scp find the temporary file and the copy/write succeeds.
