How vanilla encodes passwords?

I saw it was in md5, but not sure, can you clarify me?

    I have to use it in another script that is not vanilla, so it was like this:

    $Vanilla_PasswordHash = new PasswordHash();
    
    $a =  $Vanilla_PasswordHash->HashPassword('123456');
    echo $Vanilla_PasswordHash->CheckPassword('123456', $a, 'Vanilla');
    echo $a;
    

    Now all I have to change the subdomain HashMethod vanilla to the site, a random string or something.

    Although return different strings, it works.

    Solved, Thanks! ;)

    sort of.

    you can use different ways. the default is phppass

    which is simular to md5 and uses it in it algorithm

    http://www.openwall.com/phpass/

    grep is your friend.

    For example, for 123456 it save in User (table), Password = $P$BrCcPc.mOwmL.7dO6EExggauzt0YqG/

    For 111111 I need get the hash.

    I only need encode.

    I'm seeing PasswordHash class, I'll look phpass

     $PasswordHash = new Gdn_PasswordHash();
     $PasswordHashed = $PasswordHash->HashPassword($Password);
    

    grep is your friend.

    I saw that, but generates a random string is not always the same pass.

    I need it when creating a new site, insert the password of the administrator.

    I think the HashMethod row has something to do.

  • Options
    $PasswordHash->CheckPassword('123456', '$P$BrCcPc.mOwmL.7dO6EExggauzt0YqG/', 'Vanilla');
    

    returns true.

    I'm still seeing this class.

    Yes you need both the stored hash and the suposed password to check. This is an extra layer of security.

    They are not directly compared, in effect phppass uses crypt_private to retrieve the actual hash that can be compared to the storedhash

    Have a look at CheckPassword

    grep is your friend.

    HashMethod row determines whether you are goign to use phppass in the first place.

    grep is your friend.

  • Options

    so the method is if there is already a record you need both the stored has hash the password to create a hash to compare to the stored hash. Make sense?

    grep is your friend.

    so the user either exist, or you create them.

    You must also add $portable_hashes = 'vanilla'.
