Summary

  • codahale.com is no longer reachable (DNS resolution fails), which breaks two reference links in the README:
    • "How To Safely Store A Password" (referenced at line 10)
    • "A Lesson In Timing Attacks" (referenced at line 303)
  • Replaced both with their Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) snapshots from January 2023

Verification

# codahale.com is down:
$ curl -sI --connect-timeout 5 https://codahale.com
# (exit code 6 - could not resolve host)

# Wayback Machine snapshots are live:
$ curl -sI "https://web.archive.org/web/20230105172923/https://codahale.com/how-to-safely-store-a-password/"
# HTTP/2 200
$ curl -sI "https://web.archive.org/web/20230121050709/https://codahale.com/a-lesson-in-timing-attacks/"
# HTTP/2 200

Fixes #1211

codahale.com is no longer reachable (DNS resolution fails), breaking
the "How To Safely Store A Password" and "A Lesson In Timing Attacks"
links in the README. Replace both with their Internet Archive snapshots.
