and then the hash is compared with the stored one - if they match, it is considered a password match. In such a system, it would be possible to connect with the wrong password, if it happens to hash to the same
///and SHA512 hashing algorithms. Before computing a hash, it appends a///randomly generated salt to the plain text, and stores this salt appended///to the result. To verify another plain text value against the given hash,///this class will retrieve the salt value from the hash string ...
cryptanalytic findings (e.g. whatever caused the NSA to release SHA-1, or more famously, their obvious discovery of differential cryptanalysis 25ish years before the academic community), and sometimes algorithms themselves are kept secret (e.g. Skipjack, which was only released in tamp...
This way we would also get rid of the weirdness of bytes vs ASCII in the salt string and could pass the output of os.urandom(some_length) to the algorithms directly -- although that will probably be not as easy since we do have to be able to translate the existing salt strings *...
EDIT2: apparently, the saltLength can only be set as a template parameter at compile time.. seehttps://groups.google.com/g/cryptopp-users/c/UFVcV9Ml_Cs/m/NFYEfxhF0CEJwould it be possible to define a max PSS length for relevant hashing algorithms and key sizes?
char *s to libc's crypt function, well in this case p5p's win32 equivalent of libc crypt. IDK what the minimum string length policy is on POSIX crypt. Submitted to security list since a hashing function that uses uninit memory as a seed can be used to do interesting things (collisions...
When attackers obtain a database and discover duplicate hashes, they can quickly deduce that either no salts are being used or the system employs weak hashing algorithms. A high frequency of identical hashes often indicates the presence of default passwords. These scenarios typically involve offline...
