What is the output of: echo $(date -u +%W)$(uname) | sha256sum | sed 's/\W//g' ?

I don't know. I don't have a Linux system.

Please enlighten us.

although I am running virtual linux I don't have a clue;

not sure whether I will obtain an output if I input the phrase in a terminal window

edit

I input the phrase and got the following

859f5176cf8aac4a2f1312979fcfe3304093bb769fa145f968efac77aae50f5a

What are you exepcting??????????

Just as I suspected. It appears to be a checksum of the date and your username.

So now they have a test to see if someone is 'human' ??

Buy a stethoscope and check for a heart beat..................

Ha Ha Ha !

This was a good one !

This only works is you are running borne shell .... don't try

with csh or tcsh etc ...

echo $(date -u +%W)$(uname)

returns the current day and the operating system:

31Linux

the "sha256sum" gives you the sha 256 sum:

859f5176cf8aac4a2f1312979fcfe3304093bb769fa145f968efac77aae50f5a -

the final "sed 's/\W//g'" gives you:

859f5176cf8aac4a2f1312979fcfe3304093bb769fa145f968efac77aae50f5a

So yeah, I am human but I can use a linux system, lol ....

Cheers,
