I'm looking for a homegrown way to scramble production data for use in development and test.

None of these columns are...

To a client I developed, using 960.GS a layout with a simple login user page / choose product / register products using .NET (ASP.NET 3.5) and all was ok, they agreed and I star...

After convert it in Hexa, I got the real PIN number for the device (or device ID depends how you call that) on 8 characters. Like I said, for privacy matter I can't store the PIN as is i...
this function will not give me an output when tested in python's IDLE: import random def scramble(string): rlist = [] while len(rlist) < len(string): n = random.randint(0, len(string) - 1) if rlist.count(string[n]) < string.count(string[n]): rlist += string[n] rstring = str(rlist) return ...
