"What you have demonstrated is that you are ill-equipped to deal with issues of privacy or data security."

I won't stoop to returning insults or presuming facts not present. I am an admitted perl newbie. I came here for information, not insults from people who do not know me & have likely never met me. Thankfully, someone with both knowledge & common courtesy provided what I needed to know.

    I felt the response was insulting too and disapprove of the tone and approach but the message was accurate and the follow-up message equally worth hearing. This kind of thing is extremely difficult to get right everywhere; if you aren’t an up-to-date expert, you are nearly guaranteed to get it wrong in some way. Even the experts sometimes get these things surprisingly wrong; e.g., http://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/14487/can-someone-explain-the-ecb-penguin.

      I read the StackOverflow post, but not being an expert I can't see the error, but I'm curious - would you mind pointing it out?

        Keep reading

        If you're curious, you'll keep reading

        If you keep reading, then you will know

    There was no insult. Perl may be outside your expertise (as you freely admit), but so is data security. (And it does no good to try to conceal this fact.)

    Take any advice you can collect here with a grain of salt. This is not a forensics forum.
