Networking and Security -> reverse MD5

An easy way to fight against reverse MD5 is to make up a quick algorthm on top of MD5.

Ex: Add a string + the password then MD5 that, then MD5 that again. Stuff like that.

Then there's serverweave. PAsswords are stored in clear text right now. em320.gif Later on I'll change that (probably before release). I just can't be bothered to code a hash algorthm in C++ right now or look for code, but it's in the works.

errr..

I know google didnt! Why would you want a reverse lookup? Especially a public one? I can assure you a different hash is already being worked on. I dont know what its called, but i know there is an md5 that has a changeable salt.

Umm i don't think its a good idea to promote that at all biglaugh.gif

Interesting idea tho unsure.gif But sooner or later the entire md5 will be cracked and that would be a problem no? Unless its replaced entirely

I found that pretty interesting, and scary at the same time

I'm guessing they have a huge database of value=>hash records so it can do a reverse lookup.
