There’s the “executive” level of this stupidity where an app replaces their md5 OpenSSL calls with their own internal copy pasta of the function.

Look ma! We’re FIPS compliant now!

Unfortunately, that happens because most regulations try to enforce a black-and-white rulebook, which is easy on the auditors but extremely difficult on those being audited.

I now thinks most compliance regulations are by auditors for auditors... :-D :-D
