The system will then live on your RAM and not on your hard drive. To do this, you need to prepare a USB key (usually more than 8GB) dedicated for this. You will download the installer of some popular linux distributions that offer this possibility. Here, we will take the example of Ubuntu. text/html 2026-05-28T12:21:06+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.estaca.net/doku.php?id=diceware&rev=1779970866&do=diff Making a good passphrase: the diceware method A good passphrase is a passphrase that: * is long enough that you cannot guess it easily with random trials (also called brute force attacks) * if made from elements, is random enough that you cannot guess it from random trials of elements combinations (also called dictionary attacks) text/html 2025-11-13T09:28:03+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.estaca.net/doku.php?id=git_workshop&rev=1763026083&do=diff Git Workshop Here is a small tutorial for using Git, aimed at absolute beginners.

The idea is that it should be relatively easy to apply the hash function, but impossible to do the reverse operation. It is used in many situations. On websites and applications, for example, your passwords are hashed before being stored, and when you enter a password, it is hashed and compared to the hash.
