Re: Capture a IP in sign up
rofl yeah... note that hashes are one way ONLY... (Unless you have a pc with the powa of a 1000000000 Ghz processor, to de-hash, and I still think it would take a few decades )

Re: Capture a IP in sign up
A 7-digit number as a password can be dehashed in about 5-10 seconds. Hence why the recommendation is to use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and even symbols. The bigger the search field, the longer it takes. Of course, the potential dehasher could still get lucky and find a valid search string right away.RedShift wrote:rofl yeah... note that hashes are one way ONLY...

You'll pardon me if I don't exhibit a sexual attrraction to an encryption method.
Re: Capture a IP in sign up
To use MD5 you can either use PHP to change a plain text password into text BEFORE it hits the database, or use your sql statement (beware... i've only done this with mysql) to encrypt the plain text password. Either will work. Just look up MD5 on the respective websites.
I prefer to use it in PHP first as it makes my sql statements a little simpler. And in reverse, use PHP to translate the plain text password into and MD5 hash and check it against the database. I suspect this may be where you're going wrong as MD5 is non reversable. I did this too and was getting an MD5 hash of the MD5 hash in my database (if that makes sense). Therefore the password was being seen as wrong.
