thminco Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I'm thinking of using md5 &/or sha1 and salt to store passwords into an sql database table. My question is..would it not be safer to store the salt "clear text" in another table and just leave a "key" so to speak in the table with the password. In other words, if a hacker gets into the password and key table by using sql injection, does he only have access to that table since he wouldn't even know the name of the other table unless he also was able to access the script code.
