Show HN: Using the djb2 hash to map IP addresses to readable words for the lulz Hi HN, This is more or less a fun experiment that I thought was worth sharing. Using Daniel J. Bernstein's [1] djb2 hash that he made when he was only 20 years old in 1991, we map names to hashes and provide reverse mappings using an english word list from dwyl [2]. You can see it here: https://ift.tt/h4SXB7o Hamon (ハモン not 刃文) is derived from HAsh MOdulo Name. I hope you like it [3]! [1] The Cypherpunk Super Hero, https://cr.yp.to/ [2] https://github.com/dwyl [3] Probably minimal real life use cases. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ June 10, 2024 at 05:53AM
