MD5-Crypt

[Lumio]

Hi... I try to find a way to crypt a password as like the systemusers are.

I tried to split the salt in to parts:

$1$ and some signs for the salt ending with a $

For example:

crypt('password', '$1$balK.s2A$');

Is this correct?

Why don't you just md5 it with the built in function?

md5(password);

Because I don't think that would work in the shadow-file

I think it is the same way

I am glad to see you using salt!

 

do something like this:

<?php
$pass = "doggybag";
$salt = "!@#!@#!@#16657567116711455687**//";
$ck = $_POST['password'];


if(md5($ck.$salt) === md5($pass.$salt){
echo "Correct Password";
}else{
echo "Incorrect Password";
}
?>

 

That should do it, but I did not test that all, post any errors!

Hi Lamez... thx for your post... at least one, who knows the problem with passwords... but my problem was, that I want to generate a md5 (or even blowfish) hash for the shadow-file (I don't want to change that file directly, but with usermod I think it would be ok).
