It could be an older codebase that’s using an inline encryption algorithm as opposed to a hash. Using an encryption algorithm with a private key would result in varying length outputs.

Proper hashing of a password includes a salt that should be kept private. This means the password should definitely be passed to the server in plaintext. The server adds the salt to the password, then hashes it.
This adds more protection should an attacker somehow manage to get access to your hashed passwords. Even if they identify the type of hashing mechanism used it will prevent the use of rainbow tables, dictionary attacks, etc. against the hashes.
Is “MS13” overlaid on top of the shells?
Well in some cases it makes sense to do this with solar. The state I live in allows us to sell renewable energy credits for all the electricity our panels generate. It’s all managed by a third party, and just requires that my inverter tells them exactly how much was generated.
Building on this, see if you can collect pricing over time where Comcast is the only option vs. places where Comcast faces competition from other providers. I’ve lived in Comcast-only markets and where they compete with Verizon FiOS. Their pricing when forced to compete is often more reasonable.

- Mission: Impossible (the TV series from the 60’s & 70’s, not the movie franchise that’s just a Tom Cruise adrenaline fantasy)
Welcome to ~~Costco~~ Starbucks. I love you.
It would probably be less expensive to design a completely new one from the ground up whose interior looks identical to the Qatari jet, rather than retrofit the offered one. But either way it wouldn’t be ready for years…
They’ll also gladly accept whatever spin the GOP puts on it to blame the Democrats for the cuts, no matter how patently absurd it is.
Watch it suddenly become a problem when Mar-a-Lago floods.

It definitely needs to be private. If an attacker can obtain both the password hashes and the salt(s) (via the same database vulnerability for example) then they have everything they need to run offline attacks against the passwords.
