MD5

SHA1

SHA1 encrypted with username

Other, ive posted it in the topic

[Danny696]

Well, as most of you will know, MD5 just isnt secure enought now-a-days, Im thinking we should SHA1 it, mabey even a a salt, like SMF does with their username. Watta you think.

I use "sha512" with a salt, sha1() will soon be just as bad as md5.

sha512 with salt was my suggestion (:

It really doesn't matter what encryption I use, I just like to focus on my actual website and database security.
If I make my website fort knox, how are they going to be able to see any password anyways.

But I prefer to salt my hashes as well, but using something a little different, the average oak would never think about.
I use a timestamps as salts, and just make a insert to the database with the password, and update the time stamp as well - this is just so brute-force attacks will take allot longer.

But these days, even I sit with the power of knowing about 2.5mil hashes in their "decrypted" form - so nothing is really going to help you regarding encrypting the passwords, rather secure your website.

im thinking about whirlpool, not been decrypeted yet

[Zeddicus]

sha512 with salt was my suggestion (:

Look when I posted lol, you posted your 'encryption' technique 10 days *after* I said that.

I only posted mine without salt as it's not needed atm. (You know where.).

[Maketextgames.com]

LOL this is the first time i've actually even bothered to browse through this section of the boards >,<

You posted your sha bit somewhere?

[Spudinski]

@danny - well, whirlpool is just another encryption, I'd suggest you don't use it, it's basically just a longer string than sha and md so it just uses more database space.

Also, the term and actually also the word decrypt doesn't exist, it's just a term that people use now days. All they do is compare the hash.

whirlpool is just longer... You are a expert?

It maybe longer but the fact of it using

Different hashes ain't "just longer strings", Whirlpool is one hash i've always wanted to explore and considering you say it will use more space then i wouldn't want to be on your hosting.

Maybe do a little research into encryptions/hashes and you'll work out they ain't "just longer strings".

[Spudinski]

Thanks for pointing out they use different encryption methods, eh?
Still, it doesn't matter what you encrypt "CrimGame.com " with, it can still be revealed by comparison.

[CrimGame.com]

find me 5 whirlpool comparison websites... think not
i could find 5 md5 comparison websites within seconds...

Whirlpool looks bigger so people will avoid it, it is bigger but shown in my previous post it loads data faster than md5 and sha1.

So Spud are you just stupid or do i have to basically spell it out for you, md5 is slower than whirlpool and it's been compared on so many websites, whirlpool is rarely compared and is faster.

The logically one to use would be whirlpool (even if it's "longer"), i mean come on it's obvious why even try and defend your plainly "blond moment" statement.

Hehe CrimGame

I use sha512 (no no-one told me too... Although I did get and idea of how to use random salts with it from someone else)

Use what you like that way if something should happen to go wrong you can only blame yourself

[Spudinski]

I've had it until here whit you Crim to be real honest with you, I don't see the point in arguing with someone with such minimal knowledge of security.

I guess you also expect Google to render you those pages of FBI's most top secret documents on the web too, eh?
No, I but I could find you a thousand websites that does comparisons that includes whirlpool, but I don't have the time to waste on minimalistic things, as you surely can - I'm sure you probably already did a Google search for it, eh?

Well, also, point 0.0000002 of a second really isn't going to matter as much as the space it will use in my database, since you began to drag out the analytics parts of this, I will too.
I'm not going to argue with you when you have truly NO knowledge about large scaled systems, and how they process data. But here is a tip for you, you keep running on that shared host of yours that gets - maybe, if even - 2k unique visits a month, and then leave the real "stuff" to the people who actually knows what the hell they are talking about.
