filly00 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I have an old mysql file for a website. I don't know what encryption these passwords are in. I require to get them for an old email address! i dont think its md5 or sha1... because i know the following passwords below and they dont generate to the same number code. here is an example: 'b77cd0d5fbd7921697bf42ac103a6836:3f' and '4b3d2a835b0e62c65b5e72b4cc8ffc5d:83'. they all end with :## on the end. # been a number of digit afte the colon. many thanks if anyone can assist me.

mofoman Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Everything before the colon is a 32 digit hexadecimal number (at least in the two examples you give) for which reason I'd hazard a guess these are MD5 hashes (SHA1 would be 40 digit hexadecimal number). As for what's after the colon, I've no idea... Have you tried rainbow tables? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mofoman Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Forgot to say, even if you know some of the passwords, your MD5's will not match with those in the database if a salt was used to do the hash. You'd need to know what the salt was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filly00 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 looks like a salt was used yeah:( thanks for help anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
